The Demand Letter

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.

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.

The Tasting Menu

Family & Estate

Order à la carte — or let the prix fixe do the math for you.
The Estate À La Carte
Every document, priced on its own — then watch what the packages save.
Single Documents
Last will & testament$750Revocable living trust + pour-over willfrom $2,500Advance directive for health care (agent + living will — one document in Georgia)$300Financial power of attorney$300HIPAA authorization$150Codicil or simple amendmentfrom $450
Why the packages win
À la carte, the essentials run $1,500. The Essentials bundle is $1,200 (documents only — on the Petits Plats menu below) — and The Estate Plan, $1,800, adds what single documents can’t: the design consultation, a witnessed-and-notarized execution ceremony, and a beneficiary-designation review so the plan actually works.
Single documents include an attorney consultation and execution instructions.
Family · Peace of mind

The Estate Plan

$1,800 will-based · individual · $2,600 couple
