Costs

• Free Consultancy Service
  We believe strongly that the potential new client of the firm needs to get to know us and vice versa. We have to feel comfortable that we can accomplish the client s goals and the client has to feel comfortable that we can do the same. We do not accept every case that comes through the door, but, we do take the time to properly evaluate the situation and advise the client accordingly. Typically, our initial consultations last between 1-2 hours. During this time, we determine the status of the case, the client s goals and whether we can accomplish those goals given the various factors that exist. Many law offices charge for their initial consultations. We don t. While that results in a lot of time spent by us at no charge, we feel that regardless of whether you hire us or not, you will feel good about the experience and not just had a "meet and greet" session.
• Payment With Credit Card
  We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover
• Conditional Fees
  In a very limited number of circumstances, we do accept cases on a contingency basis. However, in the area of family law, the Florida Bar has prohibited attorneys from taking on cases on a contingency type basis.
• Retaines and Rates
  $300.00-$400.00 PER HOUR depending upon the complexity of the case. We tailor our retainers to meet the needs of each client. Some client s needs are greater than others. For example, a client may have a fairly simplistic needs with respect to the enforcement of alimony or child support. Other clients may need the massive collection of evidence and the involvement of experts such as psychologists, physicians or forensic accountants. That s why we do a full interview of a potential client so that we can identify the scope of the work that we are faced with. We also have a full staff of paralegals. Each of them has spent most of their professional lives doing family law. Cheryl started off in law enforcement. Donna started off in forensic accounting. Or receptionist, Marcia, worked for one lawyer for decades until her attorney retired. We were lucky to get her on board. So, you have a complete TEAM working for you and they charge a much lesser hourly rate than Mr. Gufford.
