My philosophy's core element is to understand clients' needs and always ensure that I keep them fully informed about all developments in their matters. I am responsive to all questions. I provide my clients with a continuing cost/benefit analysis and measure success by obtaining appropriate ethical results at a reasonable cost.

Billing Alternatives

The firm has always tried to take steps to make its fees reasonable and to help improve access to the courts for a broader range of clients. Here are some strategies it employs:

• Free 30-Minute Initial Consultation: To discuss your case with you, understand your options, and assess whether you can afford our services.
• Flat Fee Services: We offer flat-fee services for common legal matters, such as simple wills, or contract drafting. This approach provides transparency and predictability for clients.Recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice
• Sliding Scale Fees: We offer a sliding scale fee structure based on a client's income and financial situation.
• Unbundled Services: We offer "unbundled" or limited-scope representation, where clients can hire us for specific tasks or parts of their case rather than full representation. This can significantly reduce costs.
• Payment Plans: We are amenable to flexible payment plans that allow clients to pay their fees in installments over time.
• Pro Bono Work: The firm dedicates a portion of its time to pro bono work.
• Alternative Fee Structures: The firm has, on occasion, adopted alternative fee arrangements, such as contingency fees (common in personal injury cases) or hybrid fee structures that combine hourly rates with a success-based component.
• Limited Scope Representation: The firm has acted for clients under a limited scope representation where it provides specific legal services for discrete parts of the client’s case. This can reduce costs.
• Efficiency: The firm uses current technology to insure efficient case management and to reduce billable hours, which can help lower costs for clients.
