Family Attorneys
How Are Family Law Attorneys Paid?
To suit the financial budgets of clients, family law attorneys usually offer a number of payment arrangements to choose from. The common types are:
An Hourly Rate: The payment is based on how many hours your lawyer has spent working on your case. This is the most common fee structure, but the cost can vary by practice area.
A Flat Fee: The payment is fixed regardless of the lawyers' working hours. This is usually only available if the case is very simple, like an uncontested divorce.
