With estate planning, we deal with sensitive topics and like to get to know our clients – we like to have an arrangement where we can take our time talking through these issues and avoid any worry about minutes ticking by increasing legal costs. Also, estate planning documents often make sense to be prepared in packages. Using a flat fee model, our clients know exactly what charges they’ll incur – there are never any surprise hourly bills!
