How We Differ
Our firm
Bills one flat fee
No upfront retainer fee
Flat fees remove the worry over what every phone call or email will cost you
We provide you with a scope of work and what it will cost you. No uncertainty at all!
There are some instance where we may need to bill by the hour. For those clients, we charge a competitive hourly rate.
Traditional Law Firms
Bills hourly
Upfront retainer fee
Hourly billing causes stress over the cost each time you communicate with your attorney
Uncertainty over what your bill will cost once the work is completed

Why choose us
Because we believe in supporting you AND because this is not a stuffy law firm
We believe you are entitled to the same legal services as big corporations
As a virtual firm, we don’t have the same overhead as traditional firms and pass the savings on to our clients
We charge a one time flat fee for most services so you don’t have to fear incurring additional costs. We know how important cost is to you and we strive to provide most of our services using our flat fee structure.
We think we’re pretty cool and easy to work with
