Flat-rate stages. Pay as you go. Stop any time.
New cases and mid-case engagements alike begin with a single $500 Stage 1 — case analysis, background checks, strategy consultation, and a custom plan of action tailored to where your case stands right now. From there, you pay one stage at a time and decide after each stage whether to continue. No retainer. No hourly billing. No surprises.
4 stages × $500 each
At the end of Phase 1, you'll have a complete case brief, filed petition, and a customized plan of action. Your Phase 2 plan includes flat-rate quotes for next steps specific to YOUR case.
Customized plan of action with 4 equal installment payments. 1st: Evidentiary hearing scripts with exhibits woven in + courtroom preparation guide (FAQs, procedures & what to expect). 2nd: Exhibit creation & hearing preparation. 3rd: Attorney appearance at temp orders hearing (limited to 1.5 hrs of court time) — due 2 weeks prior to hearing date. 4th: Draft or review temporary orders & secure entry with court without objection or hearing required. Avg. ~$2,000 flat rate — varies by case complexity. Attorney may cancel hearing & withdraw if 3rd payment not received by 2 weeks prior to hearing date. Overage court time billed at $400/hr — due within 7 days of date of service.
Discovery, depositions, subpoenas, evidence gathering, child custody evaluations, amicus attorney appointments & other court-ordered assessments as needed. Not every case requires this phase.
Settlement negotiation, mediation, and entry of final order — or partial trial preparation if agreement cannot be reached.
Final trial preparation, trial appearance, and entry of final order with the court. All final trial payments due 90 days prior to trial date.
Each phase is quoted individually — you always know the cost before you commit.
Pay for Stages 1 & 2 only ($1,000) and receive everything you need to launch your case through a temporary orders hearing: 15-minute strategy call, plus the same attorney-quality documents as full representation — created by a licensed attorney with 18 years of family law experience. Petition set, legal brief, customized opening/closing statements, direct & cross-exam outlines, plus courtroom scripts to read in court. Your name appears on filings instead of the firm's.
