If you’re looking for a divorce and family law attorney you probably want to know how much an attorney will cost, what is the total cost in the end, and whether there are any additional fees? To help you get a better understanding of my reasonable fees and the related costs of divorce I’ve broken down the typical expenses below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attorney Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Divorce is a time-intensive process for an attorney. Accordingly, attorney fees are by far the largest expense in divorce. Most attorneys in Roseville and Rocklin charge by the hour and bill their clients every month. However, some family law attorneys charge a flat fee for a specific service like attending a hearing or representing the client in a domestic violence restraining order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retainer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After hiring a family law attorney clients are usually asked to pay an initial deposit called a “retainer.” The attorney collects this money and deposits the funds in a client trust account. As the attorney works on the case and invoices according to their hourly rate, the invoice is paid from the initial retainer. For example, if you pay a cheap Roseville divorce attorney a $3,500 retainer and the attorney spends 10 hours working on your case at $300 per hour, thereby invoicing $3,000 for the month, the attorney will pay themself $3,000 from the $3,500 retainer balance. Since the balance of the retainer would be $500, the attorney will ask the client to “replenish” the retainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flat Fee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Divorce attorneys offer flat fees for specific tasks like document preparation, otherwise known as “ghostwriting” in the legal community. For a flat fee, an attorney can draft the initial paperwork and coach the client on the next steps for filing. This service can help self-represented parties get a divorce for a fixed price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Court Filing Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Filing divorce in Roseville isn’t cheap. Apart from attorney fees, the second largest expense for many is the Placer County court filing fees<\/a>. As of 2022, the fee for filing a Petition or Response is $435. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Call Now(916) 270-6880Mon – Fri8 AM – 5:30 PM I help clients navigate divorce and family law issues quickly and efficiently.
