Plans for every budget!

Total legal coverage is what people think about when they hire a law firm. You will pay a "retainer" (aka required deposit) towards the attorney fees you will incur during your case. It's kind of like a savings account with the attorney. The attorney will bill out at an hourly rate. There is a rate for attorney time and a rate for paralegal time. When your bill comes due each month, the law firm will use the money in your "account" and pay for their fees. You will continue to make additional deposits to maintain a certain balance in the account until your case is completed. You may, depending on your case, pay additional deposits for other milestones in the case. A good example of an additional deposit is, if your case does go to trial, you will pay a trial deposit. TLC Representation is having the attorney represent you 100%, front to back, and provide you with the legal advice you need through the whole case.

Flat Fee Representation is perfect if BOTH Parties agree 100% on all the issues in a case. You pay 1 fee and both Parties sign off on all the paperwork that gets filed with the Court. This is a "Done For You" Representation where the attorney prepares and files ALL the paperwork for you at one time, submits the Judgment to the Court, and goes to the final hearing with you. Flat Fee is ALSO USED for things like Orders of Protection Hearings, Estate Planning, Guardianships, Traffic Tickets, etc. You pay your attorney fees and then you will pay your court costs and any process server costs (if needed).

Quick start representation is a great way to get your case filed FAST and start the 30 day waiting period before you can finish your case while minimizing the cost up front. The concept is that we help you get your case filed, serve the other Party, and then you can see what additional help you might need. If the other Party does not file anything or get an attorney, you hire us to do the 2nd half of your case. If the other Party does contest the case, you can go to Mediation to see if you can agree on the issues. If you do, great, you can hire us to write up the agreement and prepare the Judgment. If not, you can hire us for Unbundled Legal Services (see below) or for TLC Representation.

Unbundled Legal Services is kinda like ordering a la carte... you hire us to do certain pieces of your case. A perfect example is in a family law case, the other Party files and you need to file an Answer in 30 days to protect your rights. You can hire us to draft and file just that one piece. Maybe you just need a paid legal consultation, or you need help preparing your Form 14 child support calculation. A super common Unbundled Service is drafting your Judgment (Order the Judge signs at the end of the case). Often, the Court does not accept the free State form and you need an attorney to prepare it. We have tons of options on how we can help you if you just can't afford to hire an attorney to do the whole case.

You can't just throw up some half filled out forms and think that the Court is going to accept them and the Judge will sign anything you put in front of them. This is a LEGAL case. We offer a DIY Coaching Program where we will give you all the tools you need to fill out the documents correctly and come in the office for a review of your documents BEFORE you file them.
