Fees In Consumer Cases

  • Contingent Fees
  • Unbundled Legal Services
  • Flat Fees

Contingent Fees

I take cases on full contingency in cases where the defendant must pay my attorney fees. I can only take a case on contingency if you will be suing someone else. If I agree to take your case on contingency, you will not pay me anything unless I recover money for you.

I can only accept a very narrow category of cases on contingency. Even though the defendant must pay my attorney fees, every case involves a significant investment of my time and money, so I am highly selective.

Unbundled Legal Services

If you just need help preparing a document or you need a lawyer’s help for a specific task, you should consider unbundled legal services. Please understand each legal matter is different and that my fees can vary depending on a variety of factors. If you would like a specific quote for your legal issue, please feel free to contact me.

Here is my unbundled legal services fee “menu”:

45-minute consultation $150
Answer to complaint + initial disclosures + discovery plan  $500
Initial disclosures + discovery plan $250
Respond to discovery requests $350-500
Prepare discovery requests and review responses $350-$500
Settlement negotiation Starting at $1,000
Motion to vacate a judgment Starting at $1,500
Summary judgment (response brief & hearing) $1,500-$2,500
Deposition (notice & appearance) $1,000 (min.; may vary)
Mediation $750/half day
Pre-trial submissions $1,000-$3,000
Trial $3,000-$5,000

If you are interested in unbundled legal services, contact me for a free case evaluation to find out if unbundled legal services are right for you.

Flat Fees

Under a flat-fee arrangement, I represent you for a single fee, billed up front. You pay any court fees and out-of-pocket costs (including travel time) related to your case.

The following is my flat-fee “menu” with typical fees for some of the cases I handle frequently:

Debt collection lawsuit for less than $7,500
(not including trial)
$2,000
Debt collection lawsuit for more than $7,500
(not including trial)
Call for quote

The actual fee may vary based on the complexity of your case, travel time, the work required, and other factors.
