# Attorney and Legal Defense Fees

##### Understanding the charges you may face is crucial when hiring a lawyer.

##### We offer a *free initial consultation* to help you make informed decisions about your legal options.

## We provide other services based upon three types of fee arrangements:

### Hourly Fee

Our fees are determined by the amount of time we spend on your case, and a retainer is required for certain types of cases. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers the costs and expenses associated with your case.

### Flat Fee

We charge a flat fee for your entire case, regardless of how much time we spend on it.

### Contingent Fee

Our firm typically retains one-third of the proceeds collected on your behalf as our fee.
