You will be responsible for the payment of court costs and other expenses necessary to your case, and these costs will go directly to the court and other suppliers of non-attorney services such as the Sheriff's Department or court reporters. In our area the minimum cost (exclusive of attorney's fees) in an uncontested case usually consists of the filing fee. In a contested case, expenses may be incurred for depositions and the expertise of other professionals such as physicians, psychologists and accountants whose testimony or assistance may be required for the preparation of your case. Our charges will not be based solely on the number of hours expended, but upon a combination of factors including the expertise of the lawyer handling this matter, income tax planning, analysis and advice, amount and character of services rendered, the labor and difficulty involved, the character and importance of the litigation, the amount of money and value of the estate affected, the professional skill and experience called for and the results obtained, without specific allocation. The financial terms of our representation are set out fully in your engagement letter. We analyze each bill before it goes out and make an effort to keep the cost of our services as low as possible.
