Simplified Costs, Superior Service

Model M&T saves you money compared to a traditional divorce or family law case. In a traditional family law case, you will make an initial payment (sometimes called a retainer), then you will receive monthly bills for all the work done on your case. Divorce lawyers typically cannot predict how much your divorce will cost upfront since they bill by the hour and they do not know how many hours it will take to resolve your case. This is also why so many family law and divorce cases end up costing $15,000 - $25,000 and beyond.

The Model M&T is a revolutionary new pricing structure that resolves these issues by using our experience, size, and tools to eliminate inefficiencies and provide a predictable upfront price. With the Model M&T, you will be able to budget properly for your divorce because you'll have a better idea what the costs will be. The Model M&T eliminates uncomfortable billing disputes that commonly occur in traditional divorces. Since you agreed to pay a set amount, there is no need for you to review monthly bills from your lawyer and call them up to dispute what work has been done and the cost of that work.

Yes! Just like with traditional representation, you will be represented by one of our experienced family law lawyers. You will get the same access to resources and our non-lawyer experts that you would have received had you selected a traditional divorce.

If you have a divorce that you think could be resolved relatively quickly, it may not make sense to go the flat fee route or the traditional divorce route. In this situation, a monthly payment plan where you make smaller monthly payments until your case is resolved would probably be the most cost-effective option. The Model M&T has a Monthly Payment Plan option where you make an initial payment of $2,995, followed by monthly payments of $799 until your case is resolved. If your divorce case could be resolved relatively quickly, you would end up paying less over time than you would if you agreed to a flat fee divorce.

Yes! As the client, your goal is likely for the lawyer to obtain a positive result as quickly as possible for the lowest cost. Unfortunately, in the traditional billable hours model, attorneys only make money when they bill for work on your case. This creates an incentive for the lawyer to take extra time to do certain tasks while spending more time arguing with the opposing counsel. This will often lead to cases dragging out. In Model M&T Flat Fee, you and your divorce lawyer will share the same goal. In a flat fee model, there is no incentive for the lawyer to spend more time doing unnecessary work, or fighting unnecessarily with the opposing party since the lawyer will not be paid for the additional work/time. Flat fee pricing models create an incentive for lawyers to resolve your case quickly while meeting your divorce goals.

Under the Model M&T, there are two options 1) the Flat Fee Option, and 2) the Subscription Option. The Flat Fee Option covers contested divorces (for pricing covering uncontested divorces, click here). The Subscription Option covers a variety of family law services like:

• Contested Divorce
• Contempt Actions
• Child Custody Modification
• Child Support Modification
• Alimony Modification
• Legitimation
• Paternity
• Grandparents' Custody & Visitation Rights
