No hidden fees. No charges for Westlaw, phone calls, or emails. Every project gets a cost budget upfront – I won't exceed it without your approval.
Standard turnaround: 7–10 business days. Priority turnaround available for urgent deadlines – I’ve turned around emergency briefs in 48 hours.
Every project is different, but these ranges give you a realistic picture of what to expect. I provide a fixed estimate before any work begins.

The process is simple. I've designed it to minimize the time you spend managing the project so you can focus on everything else.
Email or call with what you need. A brief description of the case, the filing, and the deadline is all I need to get started on a quote.
I’ll ask a few targeted questions and give you a detailed estimate – hours, cost, and turnaround. No obligation if the numbers don’t work.
Once you approve, I collect a 50% deposit and start immediately. You’ll have a point of contact throughout – no radio silence.
You receive the completed work product – white-labeled, ready to file or send. Remaining balance is due on delivery. Revisions included.
Most attorneys have been burned by unpredictable billing at some point. Vague estimates that balloon. Hidden charges for database access. Invoices with line items you never agreed to. I built my pricing to eliminate all of that.
You get a fixed cost budget before work begins. I don’t exceed it without calling you first. And the rate you see is the rate you pay – no add-ons, no surcharges, no fine print.
Under ABA Formal Opinion 08-451, attorneys may bill clients for outsourced legal work – including a reasonable surcharge – provided the total fee to the client is reasonable. For many firms, outsourcing is more cost-effective than a full-time hire.
Database access is on me. You'll never see a line item for research tools.
Communication is part of the job. I don't start a clock when you pick up the phone.
Every project gets a detailed estimate before work begins. No overages without your explicit approval.
Everything I deliver goes out under your name. Your clients never know I exist.
If you need adjustments after delivery, they're part of the project – not a separate invoice.
Project-by-project. Use me once or use me every week – no commitment either way.
