The cost structure varies depending on the nature of your case.
Criminal Cases: Typically, criminal cases are handled on a flat-rate basis. We do not bill by the hour, ensuring that you are aware of the full costs upfront.
Family Law Cases: Family law cases often operate on a retainer basis. Clients make an initial retainer payment, and the attorney bills against it at their hourly rate. If the retainer is depleted before the case concludes, an additional retainer may be required. Any unused portion of the retainer is refunded to the client upon case completion. Simple matters like uncontested divorces are often handled at a flat rate.
Personal Injury Cases: Personal injury cases are commonly managed on a contingency fee basis. Clients are not required to make upfront payments; they only pay if the attorney successfully wins or settles the case. Attorney fees are deducted from the client's share of the settlement.
This ensures transparent and varied pricing structures tailored to the specific needs of your case.
