How It Works
Every legal matter is different. Scope, complexity, and timelines vary — which is why flat fees are determined after a brief consultation and needs assessment, not before. This approach ensures your fee is accurate and your scope is clearly defined before we begin.
Your flat fee covers all attorney time, document drafting, revisions, and communication for your matter. Government filing fees (like USPTO fees) are always separate and clearly disclosed.
You receive a written engagement letter defining exactly what is included before work begins. If scope changes, we discuss it openly and agree on any adjustments before proceeding.
Flexible payment arrangements are available for many services. During your consultation, we'll discuss what works for your budget and timeline.

Common Questions
What's included in the flat fee?
Flat fees cover all attorney time, document drafting, revisions, and communication throughout your matter. Government filing fees — like USPTO fees for trademark applications ($350 per class) — are always separate and paid directly to the relevant agency. This will be clearly spelled out in your engagement letter before work begins.
How do I find out what my specific matter will cost?
Book a 15-minute consultation. We'll discuss your situation, identify what you need, and provide a flat-fee quote before any work begins. There's no obligation to proceed after the consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Flexible payment arrangements are available for many services. During your consultation, we'll discuss options that work for your budget and timeline.
What if my project scope changes?
If your needs evolve during the engagement, we'll discuss any adjustments openly and provide a revised quote before proceeding. You'll never be surprised by unexpected charges.
How long does each service typically take?
Timelines vary by service. Trademark clearance searches typically take 5-7 business days; business formations 1-2 weeks; contract reviews 3-5 business days. Federal trademark registration through the USPTO typically takes 8-12 months from filing. We'll give you specific timelines during your consultation.
