Lawyers You Can Count On
Here at Tailor Law, we understand that legal fees can be complicated and hard to understand. However, we will try our best to explain legal fees to make the process easier for you. We apply the best practices in our firm to help us work smarter, which ultimately makes the legal experience more efficient and affordable for our clients.
The cost and time to resolve a legal matter are extremely difficult to predict due to many variables, but in general, we find the complexity of the legal needs and the level of conflict between two parties will ultimately have the biggest impact on the outcome.
Tailor Law only bills for all time spent on a client’s matter, including drafting documents, doing research, corresponding with the client and third parties, attending meetings and court appearances, etc. At Tailor Law, we find that the billable hour is the fairest way to bill for our services. Litigation is complex, unpredictable and often driven by the contract of the parties.

Tips for Minimizing your Legal Bill
Organization and Efficiency – each time a lawyer or law clerk touches your file, whether it is to read an email, answer a phone call or to review documents, the billable clock starts. The more efficient you are in providing information and communicating with Tailor Law, the less time we will bill. Likewise, we strive to be organized and efficient by streamlining our processes.
Reasonableness – your lawyer has an obligation, to be honest with you about your matter and to provide you with the best legal advice based on their knowledge of the law and your circumstance. What you do with that legal advice is up to you. However, clients who choose not to follow their lawyer’s advice, take unreasonable positions or take positions that are not supported by the law and their circumstances typically end up paying higher legal fees due to the additional time spent trying to achieve their desired outcome.
