Dishon & Block's Divorce Attorneys Fees

Consultation & Fees

 Here is a breakdown of our fees to meet with a Divorce Attorney

Perhaps the most valuable service we offer is the initial consultation. There is a $200 flat charge for the initial, half-hour consultation with one of our divorce lawyers. If the consultation lasts substantially more than a half hour, then additional fees will be charged at the consulting divorce attorney's rate. During the consultation, we will attempt not only to answer the questions you may have, but also to give you answers to questions that will arise for you in the future. It is also a time for you to meet the staff who, together with your divorce attorney,will assist you throughout your case.

Our Rates

Once we begin our representation, we charge hourly rates that vary among our personnel. Currently, paralegal rates start at $150 an hour. Our divorce lawyers' rates vary from $260 to $385 an hour.

An Informed Assessment of Your Case

No two cases are alike and, accordingly no two fees will be the same. We will do our best after an initial consultation to approximate how long the case could take and how much it might ultimately cost, because the amount of time involved can never be predicted with scientific precision. Of course, there may be variables that cannot be anticipated. We will make an honest effort to help you determine and anticipate the costs involved.

Billing Against Retainer

Before we begin representation, we require an initial retainer and a signed fee contract. The initial retainer depends on the case, but usually ranges from $5,000 to $15,000. We then bill our time against that retainer. If and when the retainer is close to being depleted, we may require an additional retainer if it appears the case has become more time consuming than initially anticipated. Of course, where it is appropriate, we will seek to have the other party reimburse you for your divorce attorney's fees.

We look forward to meeting with you and helping you through this difficult time.
