Pricing
Estrin Saul Lawyers generally work on fixed fee agreements. Our fees depend on the complexity of your matter and the time involved. Our first step is usually an initial consultation with our lawyers and consist of:
- approximately a one hour meeting to discuss your situation;
- a review of your case;
- advice on your options;
- a cost estimate of any further work that needs to be done.
A consultation generally costs $330 for standard matters of $440 for urgent same-day consultation matters.
Following the consultation, Estrin Saul Lawyers will generally send you a fee estimate so you know what you are likely to spend.
