My Fees for Legal Services
Types of Fees You Might Be Charged:
Payment Methods For Fees and Retainers:
- Fees based on an Hourly Rate. You pay me an hourly fee (the hourly rate is agreed upon in advance and recorded in a written agreement) for each hour (or fraction of an hour) that I work on your case, with a retainer payment required in advance and deposited into an escrow account to cover initial bills.
- Flat Fee Payment. You pay me a specific amount of money for a particular service (such as representation at an unemployment hearing, or a one-time consultation). All of the work I agree to do (as recorded in a written agreement) is included in that one fee.
- Contingency Fee Payment. You pay me only if I am successful in obtaining financial compensation for you. The fee I receive is a percentage of the compensation I have obtained for you. The specific percentage is either determined by law (such as in most SSA cases); or we agree in advance on a specific percentage that you will pay me. That percentage is then recorded in a written agreement that is signed by both of us.
- Hybrid Fees. My fees may be based on some combination of the above. For example, I may charge an hourly rate with a cap set at the retainer amount. Or I may require an initial flat fee payment, with an extra contingency fee for a successful result.
Payment Methods For Fees and Retainers:
- Personal Checks
- Money Orders
- Cash
- Credit Cards and Debit Cards
