Q: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY?
A: Cost depends on the type of matter and the specific circumstances. For example, an “uncontested divorce” (meaning, both parties on agree on all matters and you only require an attorney to prepare an Agreement and the various divorce documents), is charged on a flat-fee basis. On the other hand, a “contested divorce”, depending on the specific circumstances, will likely require an up-front retainer and then an hourly rate will apply.
