Legal Fees
Our flat fee billing system:
We offer excellent service at reasonable and predictable cost. We use a flat fee rather than an hourly billing system. With our flat fee system you will know your total costs at the beginning of the process and will never be surprised with hidden or unanticipated costs.
Our flat fee billing system motivates us to provide efficient and client-friendly service. Our billing system encourages clients to communicate freely with us because they know they will not be billed for every telephone conversation or every time we respond to an e-mail. At other law firms that use an hourly billing system, attorneys and paralegals bill every minute they spend on your case.
Our attorney fees:
Our attorney fees vary according to the complexity of individual cases. For each type of petition, the difference between the high and low attorney fee is generally about $400. For example, our attorney fee for an H-1B ranges from $1,700 to $2,100.
Payment plans:
The total attorney fee is usually split into two payments. For example, if the fee for an H-1B or L-1B petition is $1,800, the initial payment would be $1,000 and the second payment would be $800 (paid at the time of filing). We are open to other payment arrangements.
