FEES

The fee charged will depend upon the nature and complexity of the case. I will charge either a flat fee, or bill by the hour. In an exceptional case I may work on a contingency basis.

Many clients prefer a flat fee because it gives certainty to the cost of the appeal. The flat fee includes all legal work, such as research, writing, and oral argument. It does not include filing fees, the cost of ordering transcripts, and travel expenses. The flat fee is normally payable in advance, to be held in a client trust fund. The fee will not be paid out until the brief is filed.
