Every estate and trust dispute is different, and fee arrangements should reflect that reality. We work with clients to structure fees that are fair, transparent, and aligned with the nature of the dispute, the risks involved, and the client’s goals.

In appropriate cases, we represent clients on a contingent fee basis. This means our fee is tied to the outcome achieved rather than billed hourly. Contingent fee arrangements are most often used in cases where a client has been wrongfully cut out of an estate or trust, where assets have been diverted through manipulation or misconduct, or where pursuing the claim would otherwise be cost-prohibitive. These arrangements allow clients to pursue meritorious claims while sharing risk with counsel.

Not every case is suitable for a contingent fee, and we are candid about that assessment from the outset. When a contingent fee is used, the terms are clearly explained in writing, including how the fee is calculated and how costs and expenses are handled. At the conclusion of the case, clients receive a full accounting so they understand exactly how the result was achieved.

In other matters, we offer hourly or hybrid fee arrangements, depending on the complexity of the dispute and the scope of work required. Regardless of the structure, our focus remains the same: efficient, disciplined advocacy designed to resolve the matter effectively and responsibly.
