Joann R. Deutch, Attorney
My Fees
I am always glad to chat with your by phone.

I will meet you at my offices, or your office for an initial consultation which lasts 45 minutes. The fee is $100.
 
I ask that if you have documents that you want me to review, email them to be ahead of time, and I will take a quick look.  I want to get a general idea if what you're facing.  Or if you want me to draft a document, you may want to send me your notes.
 
From the initial consultation I will give you some feedback on what I see as the principle issues.  From there you need to decide how you want to proceed.  Have me work on behalf of all the parties, on your behalf only.
 
I will always present you with a contract and estimate before I begin work.  I am conscious of the fact that legal bills can be a burden, and work with you to control your fees.
 
For businesses I make arrangements for a $1,000 per month retainer that assures you of 5 hours of legal time per month so you can call and chat with me about issues and concerns.  This often saves you a lot of money.  I usually get called when clients suspect there might be an issue and want advice on how to handle the matter.
 
I always:
 
»send out detailed monthly bills
 
»talk with you if the situation has changed and I am going to exceed my original estimate to you
 
»whenever you want to grouse about your bill
 
and I try to keep my sense of humor for both of us
