Our Fees & Costs

In almost all cases, we charge by the hour and our rates are reasonable. Clients are expected to cover out of pocket costs, but we will ask for your approval before incurring any cost in excess of $100.

For those seeking assistance with only one issue or for only one court appearance, we offer Limited Assistance Representation (LAR). This allows us to appear for you in court just once, or act as your out of courtroom coach.
