Frequently Asked Questions

       My fees for legal services depend on the type of fee agreement we sign, and the complexity of your case. However, I understand that this doesn't specifically answer your question, so I have provided some basic information to help you. 

     My hourly billable rate is $275.00 per hour, charged in 6 minute increments. To retain me as your lawyer, I typically require a retainer fee  of $5,000 for Family Court cases, and for Housing Court cases, $3,500. Home owner and contractor disputes are fact specific and require detailed knowledge of the case before a quote can be given. 

       I'm willing to make exceptions under certain circumstances. I am also certified to represent you in a "limited assistance representation" capacity, whereas I can represent you for any of the issues related to your case on a flat fee basis, or an hourly fee. Please see the FAQ section of this site for more information.

        I always offer an initial consultation to discuss your needs, and we can further discuss your options at that time. Due to the nature of the time required to conduct these consultations, I do charge a non-refundable consultation fee of $275 for one hour, or $137.50 per half hour. 

    To be fair, other than "limited assistance representation", if you decide to hire me then I will give you a credit  for the funds spent for the consultation. So, if you decide to hire me to represent you, then the money you spent on the consultation would be credited towards your first hour of service. 

      If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
