Transparent fees

The fee schedule, in the open.

Flat fees for defined work, quoted before anything begins. Litigation runs hourly against a retainer, and select plaintiff matters qualify for contingency — you pay only if we recover.

  • Powers & healthcare package (financial POA, healthcare directive, HIPAA) — $650 · couples $950

Every flat fee covers the defined scope in your engagement letter; anything beyond it is quoted before work continues.
Litigation & contingency
  • Litigation & contested matters — $395/hour, billed monthly against a retainer (typically $3,500–$7,500 by matter complexity, replenished as used, unused balance refunded)
  • Employment plaintiff matters — discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination — considered for contingency: 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% after filing. Free case evaluation; you owe nothing unless we recover
  • Consumer & insurance disputes — pre-suit resolution at flat fee (see The Demand Letter); litigation hourly or contingency where the case supports it
  • Hybrid arrangements — reduced hourly + smaller contingency available on suitable matters; discussed openly at your consultation
Contingency acceptance follows a case evaluation; percentages per written agreement, costs advanced per Georgia and Washington rules.
Elder care & asset protection

Protecting a lifetime of work from the cost of care.

Long-term care can consume in months what took decades to build. Planned early — or handled decisively in a crisis — the law protects far more than most families are ever told.

Plan ahead · Best value

The Life Care Plan

from $7,500 flat
  • Complete picture of income, assets, prior transfers, and exposure
  • A written protection roadmap — what's shielded, what's at risk, and the strategy, in plain English
  • Asset-protection trust drafted and funded where suited
  • Coordinated with your estate plan, not bolted onto it
The five-year lookback rewards early planning. The best time is before care is needed.
Crisis · Decisive help now

Crisis Care Plan

from $9,500 flat
  • A loved one needs care now — this is triage with a law license
  • Eligibility strategy under current rules: what can still be protected, lawfully, today
  • Gifting and promissory-note strategies calculated and documented correctly
  • The application path mapped so benefits start as soon as the rules allow
Even in a crisis, it is almost never too late to protect something significant.
Family · Lifelong security
