Flexible Payment Terms for Accessible Legal Support
Understanding Our Legal Billing Models
Hourly Fees
$125-$375
Pay for Hourly Work: You’re charged for billable work at set hourly rates in 0.1‑hour increments based on who is doing what kind of work.
Client Preference
Preferred
Ideal for unpredictable cases and when cases are relatively quick – you only pay for work performed.
Avoid
Costs can add up and become unpredictable if the work takes longer than expected, which might complicate budgeting.
Questions to Ask
- How are billable hours tracked and reported?
- What are the rates for different staff who might work on my matter?
- Can you offer a billing cap to align with the estimate?
Rate Range
$75-$1,200
A Pay a Fixed Fee for a Specific Service: A one-time payment in exchange for a clearly defined, limited scope.
Client Preference
Preferred
Offers simple, predictable costs for clearly defined scopes of work; can offer significant savings for routine tasks.
Avoid
Limited scopes mean reduced flexibility and can require scheduling in advance; there may be a risk premium that inflates costs.
Questions to Ask
- What exactly is included in the fixed fee?
- How are extra charges handled if the scope changes?
- When is payment due?
Contingency Fees
15% – 45%
Pay Only if You Win: If we are successful in your matter, you will only pay a percentage of the value we are able to produce for you.
Client Preference
Preferred
Great for shifting risk if you are worried about paying fees with uncertain results; also great for managing cash flow when paying as you go would be difficult.
Avoid
May lead to higher overall fees than if other fee structures had been chosen.
Questions to Ask
- What exact percentage is charged?
- What additional costs might I incur during the case?
- What happens if we don’t win?
- Can we set soft caps and/or minimum and maximum rates?

Client Preference
Preferred
Lowers costs for clients who can prepay while offering significant budget flexibility.
Avoid
The variety of choices might seem complex, so discussing which plan fits best is important.
Questions to Ask
- Which payment plan best fits my budget and cash flow?
- How are prepayment credits calculated and applied?
- What happens if my project timeline changes?
