How billing works
The consultation covers an initial review of your situation and a quote for the work ahead — nothing is billed until you agree to move forward.
Flat fees cover the listed work from start to finish. Hourly matters are billed against any retainer, with an itemized statement each month. Court filing fees, service-of-process costs, and other third-party expenses are not included and are billed at cost.
Sample figures only — this prototype does not process real payments.
