At the Law Office of Kevin C. Gustafson our goal is to be as transparent and forthcoming as possible. Nowhere is that more important than when it comes to the costs of our legal services. Our goal is to help those who need it most, not make the most money possible at our clients expense.
Therefore, we offer our services at simple flat fees – no surprise invoices with thousands of dollars in fees charged at hundreds of dollars an hour. Instead, clients of the Law Office of Kevin C. Gustafson know exactly what to expect, and with payment plans and other offers, we can make things work at any budget. Note: These prices are for everything prior to trial, trial fees are additional and will be based on evaluation of the complexity of the case.
To further serve our clients, our services are also available as “unbundled” meaning limited advice and assistance in parts of your case, rather tan throughout. If you need help reviewing a document in your pro se matter, or would like someone to attend a mediation on your behalf, we are able to meet those requests as well.
Please note that if you are unable to meet these obligations, there are many options we have available to make our services work for your budget. Please don’t hesitate to call or text us at 202-240-7292 or email me at kevin@kevinglaw.com and discuss your matter today!
