Please inquire for attorney rates for general business, estate planning and nonprofit matters. Rates generally are higher for tax-related matters. Rates for nonprofit matters also include flat fee packages starting at $3,000 for review of documents for formation of new nonprofit entities, with higher package amounts for completion and filing of state and federal applications for tax-exempt status. Estate planning packages also start as low as $1,200 for a single person ($1,800 for a married couple or domestic partnership), which includes preparation of a will, advance directive and power of attorney. Rates for preparation of trusts, if necessary, will be higher. Fixed-fee arrangements also are available on select non-tax matters.

Small businesses also should inquire about the Virtual General Counsel plan. The Virtual General Counsel plan allows a limited number of smaller businesses to obtain virtual round-the-clock general counsel services at a fraction of the normal cost of a full-time general counsel. Terms and conditions apply, please inquire further for rates, limitations, and other details.
