Pricing Model

We prefer to offer our clients value-based billing instead of by the hour, and our clients tend to prefer this approach as well. We want your bill to be predictable, which is why we use this system. We want to be upfront about the cost of our services to you. 

We also want our clients to feel they can communicate with us as-needed.

Billing by the hour can hinder communications between the client and attorney. A 15-minute phone call to an attorney that uses an hourly-billing model can result in the client being billed for .25 hours of attorney time.  If the attorney’s hourly rate is $250, every 15-minute call will cost the client $62.50. Naturally this structure discourages attorney-client communication. Questions go unanswered and concerns are not addressed because the client is hesitant to contact the attorney.

Our firm uses a value pricing model for most situations. Value pricing is not about the time involved; it’s about the solution! Value pricing offers many advantages over the traditional hourly billing model:

• Predictability: An up-front fee quote is provided so that the client knows what to expect and  there are no unpleasant surprises when the bill comes.
• Open Communication is Encouraged: You are not “on the clock” for every phone call or email, so you can contact us with any questions, knowing you won’t be billed for every single response.
• Efficiency is Rewarded​: The attorney is rewarded for being more efficient in handling the matter rather than just for the time involved.
