What are your current fees?

Each party of interest is charged $400.00 for a hearing of zero to three hours in length. Beyond that time, the parties are charged $100.00 per hour per party of interest.  If there is more than one Claimant, each additional Claimant is charged $200.00 for the initial zero to three hour period. For example, a case with two bodily injury Claimant's would cost each side $600.00.  There is no additional charge for a loss of consortium claimant when brought with the primary claim.
