FAIR FEES
We have
hourly, flat-fee, and commission rates available. These are
negotiable depending on the facts and circumstances of a
given legal matter.
Call or e-mail us so we
can discuss your needs.
We
understand that, for most, paying attorney's fees is not
an enjoyable prospect. With this in mind, Carter
Law Offices, LLC has implemented its FAIR FEES program.
Often times, there are opportunities for clients to be
more engaged in their legal matter, thereby creating
money-saving opportunities for the client.
FAIR FEES
EXAMPLES:
REAL ESTATE
TRAFFIC
BUSINESS
REAL ESTATE
In the
eyes of the law all real estate is unique and therefore
it's extremely difficult to create a "typical" fee
schedule. For instance, Carter Law Offices, LLC,
handles residential & commercial landlord/tenant issues,
contractual disputes, major acquisitions, boundary
disputes, homeowners' associations, code enforcement,
and many other real estate legal matters. That
said, there are some areas of law that border on
routine; here's a for instance:
A
"typical" residential
real estate
transaction
can be handled at one of three levels: 1)
$450.00
one-time purchase-agreement preparation, explanation and
negotiation assistance; 2)
$750.00
for initial purchase agreement, legal & transactional consulting
throughout transaction, any addendums, contract extensions; 3)
$1,250.00
for complete transactional guidance, legal oversight,
drafting of anticipated amendments, inspection
coordination, facilitation of any negotiations resulting
from building inspections and the like, and title
company dealings/closing.
The
amount of responsibility a seller or buyer chooses to
take on can dictate the attorney fees s/he incurs.
With over 15+ years of residential real estate
experience, there is no aspect of a transaction we
cannot handle.
TRAFFIC
Typical
traffic situations are relatively simple to handle.
In fact, many municipalities now allow attorneys on-line
access to traffic matters, which can mean significant
savings. Depending on your infraction (rate of
speed, etc.), driving record, and the municipality
involved; legal fees can vary.
Possible
scenarios*:
1) Speeding charge [41 in a 30], good driving record,
on-line participating municipality --
~$49.00*;
2)
Speeding charge [41 in a 30], good driving record,
municipality requiring attorney in-person appearance --
~$95*;
3)
Driving while suspended charge, imperfect driving
record, on-line participating municipality --
~$200*;
4) Driving while suspended charge, imperfect driving
record, municipality requiring attorney in-person
appearance --
~$350*.
*
These scenarios represent a rough estimate of our FAIR
FEE
schedule
for traffic matters and are meant only to give an
indication of our fee levels. Each matter is
unique and, as such, your particular fee assessment will
likely vary -- please call for your most accurate quote.
BUSINESS
Much the
same as real estate, a typical
business situation is hard to define; however, the
following scenarios may give you a feel for our FAIR
FEES
structure.
Formation
of a straight-forward single-member Missouri Limited
Liability Company (LLC) including proper preparation of
the statutorily required operating agreement --
$500.
Filing of Articles of Organization with the Missouri
Secretary of State carries a government required fee of
$105.00.
