With Peace of Mind
One of the things that discourage many people from seeking the assistance of a lawyer is that they are afraid of the costs of hiring an attorney. They have heard horror stories from friends or relatives who have gone through a divorce or custody battle and have run up thousands of dollars in legal fees. The cost of resolving the case has left them in a difficult position financially, only adding to the stress they are experiencing.
At our firm, we eliminate the guessing that comes with hourly billing. When we sit down to discuss your case, we quote you an affordable rate for our services. That means you know exactly what it will cost from the very moment we start working together. There are no unexpected charges for answered emails or phone calls. It is all included in the affordable rate that we agree upon when you are deciding whether or not to retain us.
