Pricing and Services

Inclusive Flat Fees

The old model for legal fees, still practiced at many law firms today, starts with a visit your lawyer’s office and a paid “consultation fee”. The initial consultation usually determines whether you will hire the lawyer on an hourly basis for services to be performed and often these hourly fees can become substantial without any assurance for the client concerning scope of fees or how your objectives will be accomplished. Often, law firms and attorneys are apprehensive be clear about legal fees for the simple reason that they have not figured out how to be efficient in providing legal services.

At the Gibbs Law Office, we believe that as a valued client, you should not be penalized because a we cannot figure out how to provide services efficiently. As a consumer, you should know that legal services can be packaged and provided just like any other service and we strive to do this every day and for every client. Of course, there are circumstances where hourly services still apply; however, at the Gibbs Law Office, this is the exception rather than the rule.

Estate Planning Packages

In family wealth estate planning, packages of documents are important because there are certain necessary documents that interrelate with one another to form a coherent and complete estate plan. The most recognizable of these documents, a last will and testament, is only a minor part of a complete estate plan and the documents included in our packages have been selected to coordinate with each other so that all aspects of your planning needs are addressed.

Package pricing may vary based upon your unique circumstances. Pricing plans are available for COUPLES (married or non-traditional) plans or SINGLE person (or married non-joint) plans.

Flat fee pricing does NOT include costs such as court filing fees, state filing fees or recording charges which will be itemized for client. Trust packages offer reduced deed pricing for multiple deeds.   We may on a discretionary basis offer cost credit for replacing current estate plans.
