No engagement exists until we both sign one

Fees

Three ways to pay us

We propose one at the first call and put it in writing before anyone bills an hour.

  • Hourly

    A dispute whose shape is not known at intake

    $685 partner · $520 counsel · $395 associate

    You carry the cost of the unknown, and you see it monthly

  • Fixed fee by phase

    A phase with a defined end, such as pleadings or an appeal

    $45,000 through the first case-management conference

    We carry the overrun inside the phase

  • Hybrid contingency

    Plaintiff-side claims above $2M

    60% of hourly, plus 12% of net recovery

    We carry two fifths of the fee with you

Rates hold for the calendar year they are agreed in. We do not bill for the first call, and we do not send an invoice you have not seen an estimate for.
