Firm Billing We charge on an hourly fee and expense basis for most legal services. The only significant exception to this policy are our fees for routine residential real estate transactions. Other exceptions are made on an individual case basis by the responsible attorney. Our statements are carefully reviewed by an attorney for appropriateness based primarily on the time spent on the matter, but also on a variety of factors such as sophistication and complexity of the legal work involved, product delivered, result obtained, special time requirements, preclusion from other legal work, and other similar factors.
Our statements are normally prepared monthly for the previous month's fees and costs advanced and are due and payable upon receipt. In appropriate cases, some matters may be billed upon completion in the attorney's discretion. Depending upon the nature of a particular matter, we may request a reasonable retainer fee deposit from a client, particularly when we have no prior experience with the client or the client is not local or has a brief local presence. In all circumstances involving new clients, the firm will require a written engagement letter to be signed by the client at the commencement of our representation. We recognize that legal fees are not inexpensive and that many clients are apprehensive about the cost of legal services. We are happy to discuss any matter relating to our fees and billing practices which concern our clients. Main Site Areas
