How are attorney fees calculated?
The exact fee will
vary with the
services you
require. Many law
firms charge their
clients a certain
fee per hour. The
per hour rate for
non-flat fee
services in this
firm is $175. It
is often difficult
to accurately
predict your fees
because we do not
know precisely how
much time it will
take to complete
your case on an
hourly basis. Some
firms, ours
included, charge
fixed fees for
certain services.
You will find many
of our fixed fees
below.
The Pennsylvania
Rules of
Professional Conduct
require all lawyers
to enter into a Fee
Agreement with their
clients that sets
forth in writing the
terms and conditions
of the
representation.
How much are filing fees and court costs?
This often depends
on the type of case.
