What is flat fee billing?

When you buy a car, get a hair cut, or go out for dinner, you don’t pay without knowing the total cost, right? The same is true for buying or selling your home AND it should be that way when hiring an attorney.

Maybe this is the first time you’re hiring an attorney or perhaps you’ve had to hire someone in the past. You’ve probably heard about billable hours and that it’s hard to predict how much your case will cost.

Your Home Legal has a unique and customer-friendly approach to pricing legal services. Our pricing is customized to meet your specific needs.

You’ll know upfront, the full fee for your representation. No surprises here. Surprises are for birthdays - not your attorney fees!

During your strategy session, we’ll discuss the fees associated with your matter which eliminates the stress about not knowing how much it will cost.

If you’re interviewing multiple firms, which you should, when you encounter an hourly biller, ask them why they can’t tell you how much your matter will cost. Chances are they just don’t know how flat fees work or worse, think flat-rate billing somehow means the services aren’t as good or efficient as hourly.

Quality of services are never compromised. When you buy and sell real estate you have to do it right. You can’t just go through the motions and hope for the best. If the absolute lowest fee - or not hiring at all- are all you care about, realize you run the risk of getting less experience, less professionalism, or leaving it to chance.

Out of Pocket Expenses

Most attorneys charge out of pocket expenses, which increases your bill. Be sure to ask the attorneys you are interviewing how they charge for expenses.

• We do not charge for mileage.

• We don’t charge for telephone calls (long-distance or domestic) or faxes.

• We don’t charge for postage, research subscriptions, courier fees, or per page copy fees.

There are some fees you may pay outside of our fee, including notary fees, recording fees and transfer taxes. Loan, closing costs and real estate commissions are typically included in your escrow. Depending on your matter, we’ll let you know what expenses, if any, you might encounter and how to pay for them.

How to Pay

We offer flexible payment options including online credit card payments and e-check. Clients have the option to pay their fee in one payment or in installments that we agree on during our strategy session.
