Divorce and Family Law Fees | Round Rock and Austin, TX

ABOUT THE FIRM

People involved in a family law matter are usually concerned about the costs of a legal battle. It’s no secret that litigation can be very expensive, which makes the stress of a lawsuit all the more intense. However, having a qualified family attorney handle your case can actually reduce your legal fees.

The Law Office of Jay D. Smith strives to minimize your legal fees by avoiding unnecessary conflict and discouraging courses of action that can actually complicate your case.

The Law Office of Jay D. Smith charges a retainer at the outset of the case in an amount designed to cover the initial expenses of legal representation. This amount varies depending on the complexity of the case. The lawyer’s time is then billed at an hourly rate and deducted from the retainer at the end of the month.

While people often ask for an estimate of how much the entire case will cost, in most cases it is simply not possible to offer a reliable estimate. This is because so much of family law depends on the actions and reactions of other players, such as the opposing party and his or her attorney. However, the Law Office of Jay D. Smith makes sure to keep clients informed about costs throughout the entirety of their case.
