Guaranteed Low Hourly Rates

Out-of-court representation is available at $89.00 per hour. In-court representation is available from participating attorneys for no more than $109.00 per hour. This is a tremendous saving from the national average of $184.00 per hour charge for partner attorneys. In most cases, your attorney will be able to estimate the amount of hours any given case will consume prior to beginning work on the case.

Contingency Fee Discounts

Attorneys often work on a contingency fee basis on such cases as personal injury and collections. This fee is usually expressed as a percentage of the amount collected or awarded. In collection matters, your attorney will accept 18% if the case is settled before formal court proceedings begin. After proceedings begin, the fee is 27%. On all other contingency matters, there is a 10% discount on the lower of either the state maximum or the attorney's standard rate.
