Fees

  • Free Consultation My free phone consultations are typically limited to simple estate planning or estate administration matters.
  • Credit Cards Accepted My website and invoices have links for CC payments
  • Rates, Retainers and Additional Information Free phone consult and flat fees for most estate planning; Flat fees for uncontested guardianship or conservatorship proceedings. Flat fees are offered for some limited elder law, trust & estate administration matters, but generally these matters are billed at an hourly rate due to the difficulty of anticipating what work will be needed. Fees for these services are $325 per hour for lawyer time ($110 for paralegal), with a retainer or advance fee payment (to include client costs such as statutory or filing fees) typically required.
