Affordable Pricing Options

Free Consult (~20 min) Video or voice call to discuss your matter and help you understand your legal options.

Pro-Se PLUS (from $500) In law, 'Pro Se' means that a person is representing themselves in court (I will not be representing you). This limited scope engagement includes a 1 hr initial consult where I will explain court procedures and provide guidance on getting started. I can also help you draft several of the most common pleadings and final agreements so that you are ready to represent yourself effectively.

Flat Fee(s) Divorce (from $2,500) For straightforward cases, I offer a Flat Fee option that includes filing standardized pleadings and representing you in court. While I cannot guarantee that the Flat Fee will be sufficient to complete your case, we provide clear contingencies and pre-priced ('add-on') services so that you know how much certain legal detours could cost ahead of time.

Classic Retainer (from $3,500) For most cases, a standard retainer agreement is the best option. By paying your initial retainer, you have pre-paid for ("retained") my time to work on your matter. This means that I will be able to move quicker to act on your behalf and prioritize your case.

Contingent Fees (from 20% of recovery) For non-family law cases, I offer a contingent fee arrangement based on a percentage of the recovery. This means that my payment is directly tied to the outcome, aligning my interests with yours. The specific percentage and terms will be outlined in a written agreement.
