At Vette Family Law we offer options for billing including flat fee billing:

Option 1) Flat fee billing takes the mystery and stress out of budgeting for your case. Our legal team believes that a client should know what their family law case will cost up-front. With flat fee billing, you will not receive surprise bills with fees you did not expect or anticipate. You will not be billed separately for calls, emails, and messages. We take a high-tech approach to handling your case which helps us keep costs low and be efficient.

**Flat fees are quoted at the time of the consultation depending on the complexity of the case and assets involved**

Typical flat fee rates are as follows:

  • Uncontested divorce without children, property less than $200,000: starting at $2,500 flat fee
  • Uncontested divorce with children, property less than $200,000: starting at $3,500 flat fee
  • Domestic Violence Injunction Hearings: $3,000-$5,000 retainer (depending upon what the Attorney determines in your consultation)
  • Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial agreements: We offer a flat fee of $2,000 for the drafting side and $1,000 flat fee for review side for assets less than $500,000. Note: If the assets are greater than $500,000, the fee will be determined after your consultation with one of our attorneys.

Option 2) Hourly billing: This is the more traditional way of billing for family law related matters. We offer fair rates which are competitive as compared to the local rates charged by other family law attorneys. Our standard hourly rate ranges from $300 to $375 per hour depending on the type of matter and complexity. Retainer amounts range, but typically begin at $5,000 depending on the matter.

NOT INCLUDED with any service:

  • Court reporters/transcript fees.
  • Court fees.
  • Mediator fees.
  • Investigators, any experts/evaluators, guardian ad litem, child and family investigator fees.
  • Subpoena fees to process servers or third party invoices for producing documents.
