Typical Attorney Fees
Legal fees are established on a case-by-case basis. The fees listed below are typical starting points and are not a guarantee that any particular case will qualify for a specific fee. Fees are determined after free consultation.
The final fee depends on the facts of the case, the charges or issues involved, the expected amount of work, the number of hearings, the complexity of the matter, and whether the case becomes contested or requires litigation.
Payment plans are available in most situations for clients who meet qualification requirements. Terms and conditions apply. All fee arrangements are explained in a written fee agreement before representation begins.
Criminal Defense Typical Fees
Criminal defense fees are established on a case-by-case basis. The total fee depends on the nature of the charge, the facts of the case, the client’s prior record, the number of court appearances, whether motions must be filed, whether negotiations are expected, and whether trial preparation becomes necessary.
Payment plans may be available for qualifying clients.
Divorce Fees
Uncontested divorce cases with no children, a marriage less than 3 years, and less than $100,000 in combined assets start at $900 attorney’s fee, plus filing fees and costs, if any.
This applies when both parties are in agreement and the case does not require contested hearings or litigation.
The total fee depends on the issues involved, the level of conflict, the amount of work required, and whether hearings, mediation, discovery, emergency motions, trial preparation, or trial become necessary.
All fee arrangements are explained in a written fee agreement before representation begins. These fees are published to give potential clients a general idea about but no fee will be offered until after a free consultation with attorney.
