Monthly Plans & Flat Fee Services

We go against the mold and do not believe in the traditional law firm model. Here’s how our monthly plans and flat fee services work.

Why a monthly plan?

The purpose behind the monthly plans that we offer is to help small business owners obtain the legal services and advice they need without having to fear a budget-busting use of legal services.

Plan ahead.

We believe in a proactive style of problem avoidance, rather than the traditional ''break it, fix it'' problem solving style of traditional legal practices.

Ask questions.

We want clients to call and ask us questions long before a question becomes a problem. We will ask questions of you to avoid problems.

Advise.

As your advisors, we will be the people you can trust, the people you can speak openly with, and can count on as part of your management team.

We listen. We advise. You decide. You thrive.

We listen. We advise. You decide. You thrive.

We are committed to seeing small businesses thrive.
