Cost-effective
Services
The Firm was
founded with a commitment to providing "big firm" quality legal
representation at substantially reduced hourly rates. The Firm does not
have the significant overhead that saddles many large Firms such as
exorbitant downtown
Los Angeles’
rents and six-figure first year salaries. As a result, we are able to
provide our experience and expertise at rates significantly less than that
charged by large firms. In addition to the cost savings occasioned by
lower hourly billing rates, the firm also provides cost savings by not
charging its clients for minor photocopying work, secretarial overtime,
telephone calls or faxes. The firm is also committed to working with
clients to develop alternative fee structures where such an arrangement is
requested by the client or otherwise in the client’s best interests.
We look
forward to having the opportunity to meet with you and explore how we can
assist you in meeting your company’s legal challenges.
