FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Depending on the type of work, our legal fee is either hourly, contingent on the outcome of the case, or a flat fee. Typically personal injury cases are contingent on success, meaning we only get paid if you win. Real estate closing legal fees are flat fee and range from $850 for NJ (plus other necessary fees) to $1,200 for most NY closings (condos and Co-ops may be more) . Traffic cases are flat fee and range $300 to $450 for appearances and plea negotiations, and $500 to $1,000 for trials. Business transactions are hourly and our rate ranges from $175 to $300 per hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When we take on a new client we need their basic contact information including name, address, phone number, email. An engagement agreement is drafted and sent to the client for review and to sign electronically. We then set the client up with access to our secure online portal to our firm where each client can view work we have done, upload documents, send messages to us or have an online chat with one of our attorneys. If necessary, we will have the client come into one of offices to sign documents and go over their case.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our attorneys are licensed to offer and perform legal services in New York and New Jersey.
