Now you want to know… “How much does your service cost?”

I’ve been where you are; I had to hire an attorney in the past and trust – I understand that it is definitely not something one wants to do. However, in almost all legal situations, getting help from an attorney is necessary – just as necessary as it is to see the doctor when you are sick, a mechanic when your car needs repair, or the dentist when your tooth aches.

At the same time, most of us can agree that Attorneys are not cheap!!  In California, most Family Law Attorneys charge anywhere between $200-800+ per hour!

The Good News…

We don’t do hourly billing here. I believe the focus of my practice is better spent on our clients, not billing. That’s why I implemented a flat fee system.  This means that my clients pay a flat fee for work as it’s done on their case, regardless of the number of hours we put in.  Our clients receive our fee schedule that outlines each potential stage of a family law case up front; you’ll always know exactly what every decision and move costs before you make it.  No surprises!  You won’t receive bills from us showing balances due that you didn’t anticipate.

Our service chart below will give you an idea of the minimum amount you can expect to spend on the different legal services we offer. Please note that no client’s total Attorney Fees will be exactly the same as the next, as the cost depends on your unique situation. You will be provided with a more accurate estimate and breakdown of the fee and payment schedule during your consultation or case evaluation.
