Pay as you go on an hourly rate basis
An hourly rate payment arrangement works best for legal matters where the scope of what will need to be done to properly handle the matter cannot be well-defined at the outset.
Hourly rate advantages
The biggest advantage of paying hourly is that you pay for the hours actually worked. You can also get answers to your questions and guidance you need quickly. Just call or email us. An hourly rate enables attorneys and clients to work based on recurring need, making it possible to increase workload as needed.

Practical solutions. Flexible options.
Hourly rates are clear and easy to comprehend. Regardless of whether the workload increases or decreases, they allow for flexibility. Hourly rates help minimize administration time on negligible issues.
Practical Solutions.
It is our aim to provide practical solutions to our clients and sometimes that requires us to take various approaches – whatever will be most effective – in order to get that done.
Flexible Options.
We don’t always know how much time a matter will take and all of the steps that will be necessary to accomplish our client’s desired end. In these cases, an hourly rate pricing arrangement is appropriate.
Pricing that suits your needs
Some examples of legal matters well-suited for an hourly rate pricing are:
Getting started.
For hourly rate services, we require an initial retainer. The initial retainer is payable in a lump sum at the beginning of our engagement as counsel. The retainer amount goes into the firm’s trust account, which is monitored by the State Bar of Georgia. Those funds are and remain the client’s unless or until we earn them. If, as the matter progresses, more funds are necessary to cover legal expenses, we will request a replenishment of the retainer. Any funds that remain in trust for the benefit of the client upon the conclusion of the matter (or if either we or the client terminate the relationship prior to then), will be returned to the client.
