Family Law

• Divorce
  Flat rates are sometimes used in instances in which the client's problem is relatively well-defined, and the attorney can tell in advance how much time and effort is likely to be required. With a flat fee arrangement, the attorney agrees to perform a specific service for a specific fee. The client knows in advance how much the service will cost. Flat fee arrangements are most often used in uncontested divorces, incorporation of small businesses, simple wills, and simple bankruptcies. Where there is a significant amount of disagreement, or a complicated situation, it is usually not possible for the attorney or the client to know in advance how difficult the problem will be.
