Our Fee Philosophy
Most of the legal services we offer are for a fixed amount. We only charge on an hourly basis when it is not possible to determine in advance how much time services will require. For example, when we are involved in litigation, we never know in advance how much time the matter may need so our attorneys and legal assistants charge for their time at their hourly rates. For most routine legal services such as preparing or reviewing a contract or forming a company, we charge a fixed price. We want our clients to know in advance how much we will charge.
