Fees, in plain sight

You shouldn't have to call a stranger to learn a price

Here is every fee we charge. Predictable work gets a flat fee — meetings, drafting, revisions, and signing all included. Unpredictable work gets honest hourly rates and a written estimate that we update before anything changes. That's the whole policy.

Estate planning

Three flat-fee planning packages

Not sure which fits? The three-minute planning quiz walks the same questions we ask in a first meeting.

Where only hourly is honest

Contested matters, priced truthfully

A contested divorce or guardianship can't honestly carry a flat fee — the other side controls half the work. Any firm that quotes one anyway is guessing with your money. Instead you get our hourly rates, a written estimate at each stage, itemized monthly statements, and a standing promise: we'll tell you the moment settling costs less than fighting.

Partner $285 / hour

Associate attorney $215 / hour

Paralegal $95 / hour

And on the house

What we never bill for

  • Your first consultation — thirty minutes, always free
  • Brief check-in calls and quick email questions
  • Copies, postage, and routine administrative time
  • Reviews and minor updates of estate plans we drafted
  • The conversation where we tell you a fight isn't worth its fee

Any flat fee can be split into two or three monthly payments at no extra cost — money should never be the reason a family goes unprotected.

The fine print, unfine

Fee questions, answered straight

Why do you publish your fees when most firms don't?

Because the people who call us are already anxious, and 'it depends — come in' makes that worse. Predictable work gets a published flat fee. Unpredictable work gets honest hourly rates and a written estimate. We think that's simply what fairness looks like in a fee schedule.

What exactly does a flat fee include?

Everything the package describes, start to finish: meetings, drafting, unlimited reasonable revisions, the signing meeting, and your document binder. Court filing fees are set by the courts and passed through at cost — we list them in your engagement letter so nothing surprises you.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Any flat fee can be split into two or three monthly payments at no extra cost — just tell us what works when we prepare your engagement letter. Money should never be the reason a family goes unprotected.

What happens if my 'uncontested' matter becomes contested?

We pause, tell you immediately, and give you a written re-estimate before any hourly work begins. You'll never discover a change of course on an invoice. Often we'll suggest mediation first — it's usually the cheaper and kinder road back.

Fees current as of July 2026 and confirmed in writing in every engagement letter. Court filing fees are set by the courts and passed through at cost.
