Fee Calculator function on your site is brilliant.
One note: after describing the litigated fee case, at the bottom of the page are these words:
“For an estimation of fees for a case that involves filing a lawsuit, click below.” I think the text meant to reference the non-litigated case, with the button being that for non-litigated.

It’s either early in the a.m. and I can’t see straight, or my proofread is correct, for your webmaster’s FYI.

Thanks for the quick and solid response. You must be at your computer with a cup of coffee, getting ready for the morning court call, as I am . Good luck today.

Thanks for your kind words.

When we first switched to fixed fees we went back through 5 years of file and came up with some rough guidelines. Then we built the fee calculator on http://rosen.com.

We’ve had to refine the fees over the years and make some tweaks to the client agreement. Sometimes we get it right, but sometimes we’re off. Overall, it works out well.

I have through the years been interested in offering fixed fees for my divorce clients. The only concern has been the calculation of the proper fee. Is there a resource that your firm employed to determine the appropriate fixed fee per case? Do you assess the case, determine the likely hours/costs, and then set a fee, such as a general contractor for a building might? Do you reserve for trial costs, ie exclude a trial , if required, from the fixed fee?

Thanks. I enjoy greatly your blog. If you could bottle your practice mgt. advice, you could sell it, and I would take a case. Or a truckload.
