Billing That Works the Way You Do

We aren’t a typical law firm and we don’t bill like one either. We customize our billing practices to fit each client’s needs—building flexibility, transparency, and trust into every engagement. Whether through flat fees, monthly retainers, or competitive hourly rates, we focus on delivering clear value and predictable results, so you can plan confidently and stay focused on what matters most.

  • <h5>MONTHLY RETAINERS</h5>
    1

    MONTHLY RETAINERS

    We handle all of the legal work in a given area or subject matter for a monthly retainer, which we can adjust upward or downward as the work ebbs and flows.

  • <h5>FLAT/PROJECT FEES</h5>

    FLAT/PROJECT FEES

    Under this model, we take the risk that we have underestimated the time that needs to be spent. If it takes longer, you still don’t pay more. If we are very efficient, we get the benefit of our efficiency.

  • <h5>COMPETITIVE HOURLY RATES</h5>

    COMPETITIVE HOURLY RATES

    Because we work collectively to solve your problems, a majority of our attorneys are available for the same hourly rate, except our Fellows and Junior Attorneys who bill at lower rates and are perfect for tasks you don’t want to pay a legal veteran to do.
