Fees
Our
legal fees are fair and competitive. The cost of our services reflects
the nature of the assignment and the novelty and difficulty of the
legal issues involved.
We
are particularly sensitive
to the reluctance of
some clients to seek needed
legal advice on a timely basis because
of the perception that legal fees are unpredictable. In response
to this concern,
we provide services
on certain basic or preliminary
matters (such as a simple incorporation or creation of an LLC) on
a fixed fee rather than hourly rate basis.
When
the nature or complexity of a particular matter is such that hourly
rate billing is the most appropriate
billing method, costs are based upon
the time expended plus expenses actually incurred on your behalf,
such as court filing fees, copying costs and
overnight couriers. In those
matters, estimating a fee requires us to calculate approximately
how much work will be involved. No
two legal situations
are exactly the same and variations
in facts can
affect legal outcome,
as well as the amount of
legal work required.
We can, however,
after discussing the specifics of
your legal situation, determine the scope of the work that appears
to be required and estimate the maximum and minimum range of the
legal fees and costs that would be
incurred. You are under no
obligation to proceed with legal representation
unless you find it advisable.
We
take the following steps to avoid unexpected legal costs:
| |
- We strive to place you on
a solid legal
foundation in an effort to avoid potentially
costly litigation and monetary
liability later.
- We undertake legal work only with your
prior authorization.
- If any contemplated activity
or expense
will exceed our estimate, we notify you in
advance to obtain your approval before
proceeding.
- We answer any questions
you may
have regarding legal fees and fee payment
schedules.
|
By
keeping you closely advised of the status of your matters, we minimize
the possibility that the cost of representation
will diverge from estimated costs.
