Fees
What this costs
Three fee models, depending on the work. You are told which one applies to you, and the figure, in writing before anything begins.
Immigration matters are quoted as a flat fee, agreed before the work starts. Personal injury is handled on contingency at 33% — no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery, though you may remain responsible for case costs and expenses. In workers' compensation, a workers' compensation judge approves the fee, typically around 15%, and it is paid out of the award, not by you up front.
Three models
How each kind of matter is charged.
-
01
Immigration
Flat fee
One figure for the matter, agreed and put in writing before the work starts. It does not move because the matter took longer than expected. Government filing fees are separate and are set by USCIS, not by this firm.
Payment plans are available on most flat-fee matters. Ask when you call.
-
02
Personal injury
Contingency · 33%
No fee up front and no hourly billing. The fee is a share of what is recovered and only of what is recovered. If there is no recovery you owe no attorney's fee.
You may remain responsible for case costs and expenses. This is set out in writing before you sign.
-
03
Workers' compensation
Approved by a judge
A workers' compensation judge approves the attorney's fee, typically around 15%, and it is paid out of the award. You are not billed up front.
Your employer may not lawfully retaliate against you for filing a claim.

Why there are no figures on this page
A number without your facts would be a guess.
Two people filing the same petition can face very different work: one has clean documents and a straightforward history, the other has a prior refusal and a gap that has to be explained. Publishing a single price would mean under-quoting one of them and over-quoting the other.
So the figure comes after the consultation, in writing, once someone has actually looked at your papers — and it does not change afterwards.
