The following rate information is provided as a reference, and reflects the fees charged under most circumstances. These rates do not constitute a contract for services; all fees—and in particular, hourly fees—may be adjusted in response to your circumstances to reflect the particular complexity of your matter, the urgency of your need (including whether it requires that we reschedule other matters), and the need to bring additional resources on-board to address your issues. Attorneys and established clients may receive courtesy discounts. Your rate(s) will be established and agreed upon in a written Fee Agreement before work commences.
