Our Fees 

Hourly Rates - Valid through September 31, 2025 

• Attorney: $300 per hour

• Paralegal: $150 per hour

Flat Fees

Flat fees are determined on a case-by-case basis, considering the estimated time required and the complexity of the matter. Attorney fees will be finalized after a consultation. 

As detailed in our attorney-client agreement, the entire flat rate fee is due before concluding our representation.

Our flat fee will remain unchanged, even if the time required to complete the case increases reasonably due to circumstances beyond the client's control.

Fee Increases: The firm reserves the right to increase its fee if:

• The scope of the representation changes significantly.

• The complexity of the matter increases.

• The client misrepresents the facts of the case at the commencement of the agreement.

• Other unforeseen circumstances arise that warrant an increase in fees.

Technology Fee

A technology fee of $60 will be charged to all clients.

Reasons for the technology fee:

1. Software and Hardware Costs: Law firms invest in various software and hardware tools to streamline their operations and provide efficient legal services. These tools can be expensive to purchase, maintain, and update.

2. Data Storage and Security: Law firms handle sensitive client information that requires secure storage and protection. This necessitates robust data storage solutions and cybersecurity measures, which can be costly to implement and maintain.

3. E-Discovery and Document Management: Law firms often deal with large volumes of documents and electronic data. E-discovery software and document management systems are essential for organizing, reviewing, and producing documents in legal proceedings. These tools can be expensive to acquire and operate.

4. Remote Work and Collaboration: In today's digital age, many law firms have adopted remote work arrangements or hybrid models. This requires investments in technology infrastructure, communication tools, and security measures to ensure seamless collaboration and productivity.

5. Client Communication and Accessibility: Law firms often use technology to communicate with clients, such as email, video conferencing, and online portals. These tools help improve client access and satisfaction but can incur additional costs.

6. Legal Research and Analysis: Legal research databases and analytical tools can be invaluable for attorneys in conducting thorough research and analysis. However, these tools often come with subscription fees or usage charges.

Incidental Fees

All incidental costs, including printing, mailing, court filing fees, and other associated expenses, will be billed directly to the client.

Payment Terms

• Incidental Fees: All incidental fees must be paid within 15 days of the invoice date.

• Late Fees: A 10% late fee will be charged on any outstanding balance after the due date.

• Payment Plans: A monthly interest rate of 1% will be applied to all payment plans extended by the firm.

  1. To establish a payment plan, we require a valid debit or credit card on file. 

  2. Monthly installments will be automatically withdrawn on the scheduled date, determined by your initial payment.

  3. Please note that failed transactions may incur a late fee of 10% of the installment amount. 

  4. If we are unable to process payments due to an invalid credit/debit card, the full balance will become due immediately.

  5. Failure to make payments may result in the termination of our representation.

Please note: This fee policy is subject to change and may be modified at the discretion of Plan Life Law, PLLC. Any changes will be communicated to clients in writing.
