The final cost of a divorce, for example, varies significantly between couples. When couples can reach settlement agreements for some or all the issues unique to their family & situation, the overall cost should be less than litigating issues through the court. The final cost will largely depend on the number of contested issues in your case &whether mediation, hearings, or trial are necessary to resolve those issues.

During the consultation process, our attorney will provide information about fees and costs related to your unique situation and the dynamics of the parties involved.  For reasons unique to each case, it is impossible to provide an estimate of the final cost of your legal proceeding. Our attorney will, however, explain how to reduce costs and methods for reaching agreements, out of court, that may save time & money.

If your matter involves changes to your support obligation, our attorneys will provide a general cost-benefit analysis during the consultation meeting so that you can decide whether or not it is beneficial or necessary to retain an attorney.  Our firm can also be retained to provide a detailed calculation if a general cost-benefit analysis is insufficient for deciding on whether or not to pursue a support modification.

Furthermore, during the consultation meeting, our attorney will assess the scope of your case to determine if the work can be done on a flat rate or fixed fee basis.  Other options include phase-by-phase scope retention so that you feel comfortable knowing the limit of our involvement in your case.
