Our Rates

Depending on the services we perform, we offer an hourly rate or a flat rate. For complicated cases or cases requiring multiple services we prefer retainers. Some of our services require special rates.  

Hourly Rates

Our standard hourly rate is $60 an hour plus expenses. Expenses include travel costs, filing fees, copying costs, research fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. Our billing increment is 6 minutes or one-tenth of an hour. We keep time records on each case and receipts for our expenses. Both time records and copies of receipts are available for review. Invoices are sent to clients by email every month. Payment is due 10 calendar days after the invoice is received.

Retainers

For cases that require us to perform several different services for a client we prefer to receive a Retainer.  Retainers are required to be paid up-front. Retainers are calculated based on the number of hours we estimate it will take to complete all of the services the client requires plus associated expenses. Once the number of hours have been used, we will bill at our hourly rate plus expenses. If we complete our services before the retainer has been used up, we will refund the balance of the retainer to the client.

Flat Rates

Our flat rate is for individual limited services that we perform. This usually means document preparation. The cost of preparing a document for a client is $100 payable immediately.

Special Rates

Our special rate is for Consulting Services and Estate Planning Services performed by Terry Hamilton. Our Consulting rate is $120 an hour plus expenses. Mr. Hamilton will keep time records and receipts for his expenses. Both time records and copies of receipts are available for review. Invoices are sent to clients by email every month. Payment is due 10 calendar days after the invoice is received.

Our Estate Planning rate is a flat rate of $500 for preparation of a standard Estate Planning Packet. Preparation of a non-standard Estate Planning Packet will be $500 plus $60 an hour for every additional hour needed to complete the non-standard Packet as shown by our time records.
