FAQ
What will a divorce cost me?
I currently bill my family law clients at $300.00 per hour. Although I will make every effort to keep costs reasonable for you and work within the agreed upon retainer, I cannot give you a fixed price for a divorce (or any other family law matter). The reason is because I cannot predict what the opposition will file during the litigation process, or what pleadings I may need to file on your behalf in order to achieve your goals in this matter.
How long will it take for me to get divorced?
Although I can provide a timeline for these proceedings, each case is fact specific, so there cannot be an exact time and date. I will do my best to guide you through this process as quickly as possible without jeopardizing your goals for the outcome.
What kinds of information should I bring with me for my free 30-minute consultation?
