FEES

Excellent private legal representation inherently comes with a cost. We believe in transparency and fairness, as well as maintaining reasonable legal fees. In many cases, we offer payment plans after an initial retainer or down payment.

The fees below represent estimates for typical cases we handle. However, our attorneys determine the actual cost of representation during the consultation based on a variety of factors that impact the complexity of a case. Issues such as criminal history, immigration violations, and many other matters can complicate a case, resulting in more work for attorney and staff, and thus higher fees.
