Our firm's philosophy towards legal service fees is that we try to keep it short and simple. We favor flat fees over hourly fees. We believe this urges us to work faster and more efficiently and it lends certainty to our clients' expectations.
However, should a client's matter require more legal representation by us that was not foreseeable, we will assess our hourly rate for the unexpected portion of our legal representation. We accept cash and checks.
