What will my case cost me?

No family lawyer can realistically predict, before examining your case, what it will cost— and be wary of any attorney who says they can.

Costs in a case depend upon a variety of factors, including how complex the issues are, which attorneys at the firm are assigned to your case, how long the case takes, etc. We handle all types of cases, from the simplest of prenuptial agreements to the most difficult and challenging divorce cases that involve long custody battles and disputes over high incomes and wealth.

Our family lawyers work with our in-house staff of dedicated family law paralegals to keep your costs reasonable. Your case will be assigned a team, including a dedicated family law paralegal to work with you on various paperwork and information your lawyer may need and/or the court requests, as well as keep you updated and informed on your case. This is one way we try to control the cost of a divorce.

Like most family law firms, we work on retainer: a client pays an initial retainer depending upon their case and may be asked to replenish their retainer if the case is ongoing. Additionally, our billing department will send you regular statements, so you know what you’re being billed for and how much is still in your retainer. We work to keep you informed.
