Do you charge for consultations?Depending on the area of law, yes. Our consultation process is a little different than most law firms. When you first contact our office, you will do a free intake call to get some upfront information and for us to learn more about you and your case/project. If we accept you as a client, we will set up your consultation time. At the consultation, you will meet with our attorney, who will give you legal advice on your legal issue, break down our processes, and discuss our fees. We do charge for our consultations, but we use the time to provide you with as much value as we are able: you will end the session armed with answers, a strategy, next steps, a priority list, an education, referrals for outside services you may need, and a transparent price. This is what separates us from the rest of law firms.

Hourly Billing
Some projects don’t fit into our flat fee or subscription models, so for those projects, we’ll recommend traditional hourly billing. Hourly billing is best for projects with an unpredictable scope, such as contract review, legal research, or negotiation with a third party. If hourly billing is necessary, we will still give you an estimate upfront and will keep you updated throughout the project, so you won’t be caught by surprise with the final bill. We will always ensure that your project is handled by the most competent ABL representative at the lowest appropriate price point, so your bill remains reasonable, but your needs are still met at the highest standards.
Contingency Fee
We offer contingency fee billing in personal injury law cases. A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where the attorney's fees are contingent upon the outcome of the case. In this model, clients do not pay us upfront but rather agree to give a percentage of the final settlement or court award if the case is successful. So we only get paid if we win the case.
Monthly Subscription
Our clients can enjoy ongoing legal assistance for a fixed monthly fee, ensuring they have access to expert advice whenever they need it, without the worry of unpredictable costs. Whether you're a business owner seeking proactive legal counsel or an individual looking for ongoing support, our subscription billing model offers flexibility and transparency, allowing you to budget effectively while receiving top-notch legal services tailored to your needs. Join us in embracing a new era of legal representation, where affordability and quality go hand in hand.
