HOW MUCH DOES IT
COST?
In our
office, we do our work on an hourly basis. The hourly rate depends
upon attorney representing you. We have three (3) attorneys to
chose from, Peter W. Mogren,
Ronald E. Glessner, and
Ruth A. Roti.
In
most cases, we require an advanced fee deposit to be paid. This
deposit goes into our trust account, which means it is your money, not
ours. We send out monthly bills, summarizing our costs and
attorney fees, and we then deduct this amount from the trust account.
In many cases, you will be requested to replenish the trust account to
maintain a minimum balance for future work.
The
amount we request in the trust account depends upon our evaluation of
the case. The simpler the case, the less we require. The
more difficult the case, the more we require. Frequently we break
it down depending upon 1) if all issues are agreed upon, 2) issues are
not agreed upon, or 3) whether an order to show cause is necessary for
immediate temporary orders. Other issues that can affect it are
whether there are children (parenting plan and child support), or
complicated property issues (separate property, retirement benefits,
etc.). The more complicated the case the more work that is
generally required, that necessitates a larger balance in trust.
The
amount we require to be placed in trust is not a flat fee for the work
done or the maximum amount that will be charged. It is an initial
prepayment only. If there are any funds left over after the work
is completed, it is refunded to you. It is usually a minimum
balance amount, and you will be asked to replenish it each month as we
draw it down to pay your fees and costs. The ultimate cost for you
will be a product of the work and time required. The simpler the
case and more issues that can be agreed upon the lower the fee.
The more complicated the case and the more hearing required the higher
the ultimate fee will be. Every case is different and is hard to
predict.
We
offer an initial consultation with clients for $75.00. At that we
can get some background information from you, explain procedurally how
things happen, explain how the court wrestles with the various
substantive issues, answer your general questions, and explain our
attorney fees, including how much the advanced fee deposit will be.
