The fee sheet
Each card says what the fee buys and what it leaves out. The fee comes from the work on the card, and we confirm the number by email before any work begins.
The notice that keeps your claim alive, drafted and sent.
A firm letter on our letterhead for an unpaid invoice.
The lien prepared, recorded and served on everyone who must get it.
Recording and service charges are paid at cost.
For work on a public project, where a bond stands in for a lien.
One contract, read from first page to last.
Your own subcontract, written to match how you run a job.
A written claim with photos, for owners and for contractors answering one.
Fees are flat for the work listed. Court, filing, recording and service charges are separate, paid at cost and itemized. A written quote comes before any work.
What flat means
The work on the card, from the first call to the finished letter, notice or marked-up contract.
Every call about that work
One round of changes
No hourly clock
Money we pay to someone else for you, listed in your quote before we spend it.
Recording and filing charges
Process servers and courier
Copies of public records
Anything bigger than the card. We stop, say what it is, and quote it before we start it.
Arbitration or a lawsuit
Expert inspections
Negotiating with the other side
Fees
You pay the flat fee when you accept the written quote, before we begin.
Tell us on the first call. If the job is smaller, we quote it smaller.
Ask. For the larger fees we can split the payment into two or three, in writing, before the work starts.
Sometimes a contract or the law shifts fees to the side that loses. We look for that clause and tell you what it means for you.
A flat quote comes by email, before any work.
