We handle family law matters on an hourly fee basis. Generally, we require a retainer for our services. Family law matters vary widely in the level of complexity. Accordingly, we need to meet with you to discuss the facts of your case and the issues involved, and can then determine the appropriate retainer.
However, we charge a $800 flat fee for uncontested – no fault divorces, plus court filing fees.
Our fees are contingent upon obtaining a recovery. This means that we receive a fee only if our client receives money damages, either at trial or through settlement. If the client does not recover any money damages, then we do not collect any fee.
Typically, our fee is one-third (1/3) of any recovery. In some complex cases, such as medical malpractice cases, we require a 40% fee. We will discuss our fees at the beginning of the case and come to an agreement prior to representation.
By law, a client is responsible for paying costs, whether or not a recovery is obtained. Accordingly, a client must pay for costs such as filing costs, service costs, deposition costs, and expert costs.
Due to the complexity of these cases, we require a 40% contingency fee. For some matters, such as reviewing separation and severance agreements, we will charge an hourly fee.
