Payment Plans

Almost always, we require half of the initial estimated retainer to open your file, or half of the flat fee if criminal defense. 

The initial retainer fee must be paid within 60 days of hiring us – and we offer weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payment plans for the second half of the retainer. 

All fees are due prior to services being rendered & if your needed legal services are extending past your retainer, you are required to supplement your retainer based on our estimate at the time. 

In hotly contested cases or highly convoluted and involved cases, we require clients to maintain a balance at all times in their trust accounts. This is called an evergreen retainer. 

Additional Terms

• All payments must be on auto-draft.
• No late fees or early payment penalties.
• There is an additional 3% charge for all credit card and echeck payments
