PRICING
Garratt Law offers flexible pricing and payment plans to suit each client’s specific needs, including flat fees for document preparation and mutually agreeable caps for hourly projects. We always discuss pricing in detail, in advance. We also offer one-hour consultations with an attorney to discuss their case before formal representation occurs. This allows clients to determine whether or not to move forward with their case, and whether a particular attorney is a good fit for them. The consultation will only cost the client that attorney’s hourly rate. Transparency and easy billing practices are at the core of our business.
