TIPS TO SAVE YOU ON ATTORNEY FEES
Part of the Ambrose philosophy is not only to give the best service around, but to do it at an affordable cost. I will do my best to give you the best results at the lowest cost possible. I realize that litigation is expensive and I strive to save you money. I will always advise you of the possible costs as a result of our strategy so that you can make a well informed decision on how you would like to proceed. I will keep track of all the work I do on your case and will send you detailed bills each month; but there are several things you can do to keep your costs down:
- Provide me with organized copies of your financial and tax documents. This should include bank statements, 401(k) statements, pension documents, stocks, bonds, pay stubs etc.
- Wait until you have several questions before calling me. Because hourly rates are billed in increments of .25, you will save money by asking several questions at one time.
- Prepare a budget showing your actual income and expenses.
- Pick your battles, i.e. don’t incur thousands of dollars in attorney fees fighting over a vase you received as a wedding gift that could be replaced for $20.00.
Have an open mind toward compromise. If you and your spouse can reach an agreement on a certain issue, you save money because it is one less thing your attorney will need to deal with.
