A PERSONAL NOTE ABOUT FEES
I choose to post my fee schedule publicly so you have a sense for the level of investment required to retain me as your lawyer. All matters require a minimum fee of $1,400 (individuals) or $2,000 (married couples). These numbers are for basic estate planning with only the essential documents included. But the vast majority of clients will invest $3,000 to $10,000 (or more) for a comprehensive estate plan. On average, my fee for a new client matter is approximately $5,500.
You may ask yourself whether retaining me as your estate planning lawyer is worth this level of investment. Of course, only you can answer that, but I do want to share what I believe sets me apart from any other option you might be considering:
FIRST, I will give you a premium experience from start to finish, and you will work directly with me.
SECOND, my process will help you accomplish a very important task in a relatively brief amount of time. I do this by asking a series of precise questions, explaining your options in a concise manner, and then using technology to build your estate plan with the highest quality tools and techniques.
THIRD, estate and trust law is a very formidable beast to tame, but rest assured, I aspire to mastery of the subject matter.
