The adage "you get what you pay for" is true in most walks of life, and the attorneys of Sablatura Williams are no exception.
There are three types of fee structures Sablatura Williams utilizes:
1. Flat fee 2. Hourly fee with Retainer 3. Contingent
Flat fees are used in criminal cases and uncontested matters, such as drafting a document. For example, if you are charged with a traffic ticket and your a commercial truck driver, you could be looking at minimum fee of $750.00 (depending on a variety of factors). Fees for serious matters obviously entail a substantial fee for quality work and quality results.
Most family cases and civil litigation are charged per hour, with a normal rate of $250/hour. In family cases, most attorneys require an up-front, in-full retainer which is then placed in the attorney's trust account and billed monthly. Due to the emotional nature of contested divorce with children, it is not uncommon for a retainer of $3,000-$5,000 to be requested at the beginning. Keep in mind that the retainer is not the overall fee.
Contingent fees are charged when a case is settled, and is a percentage of the overall recovery. This insures that our firm takes the risk of litigating your case, normally in a personal injury context. If we lose, you pay nothing. Our contingency rates start at 33 percent.
We will do our best to work with you on payment plans, and all forms of payment are accepted (cash, check, money order, and credit cards).
