Transparent Pricing: Business Formation

Clear, upfront pricing for business formation services. There may be some variability for rare instances of added complexity. Should your needs require additional cost and complexity, you will be informed before we begin working together.

Payment Terms: All fees for service are paid in advance of any work being done. One a fee is paid, it is kept in an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account (IOLTA account) and the firm/attorney is not paid until the matter is complete.
