Initial Consultation Fee
We charge an initial consultation fee per hour. Should you retain our firm on a full representation basis, you will receive credit for your initial one-hour consult fee.
Billing Statements
We issue monthly itemized billing statements that describe the daily services rendered and the amount of time spent on each, so you can easily keep track of each charge.
Written Fee Agreement
We provide clients with a written agreement upfront to discuss the fee structure and avoid any expensive surprises later on.
Discussing Fees & Terms
We will never bill you for discussing questions or concerns regarding any of the fees or costs charged to your account.
Retainer Fees
We believe that families should not have to pay exorbitant fees for quality legal representation, which is why we require a smaller retainer fee than many firms.
How to Save Fees & Have Better Outcomes
Careful planning and case preparation are key to reducing fees and obtaining better outcomes in family court. We work to limit unnecessary billable time by encouraging early and complete disclosure of relevant documents, organizing key information up front, and staying on the same page about your goals.
Responding promptly to requests, using email for routine questions when appropriate, and providing clear timelines can reduce wait times and help cases proceed more efficiently. Our lawyers provide proactive guidance and support to help clients stay informed and move forward with confidence.

If possible, it is always in your best interests to consult with a family law attorney before you move out of your residence or file for divorce, even if you decide to represent yourself. What happens early on in a case may turn out to be very important. Each case is different, and many of our clients have special circumstances. Again, some “preventive medicine” may save you a lot of heartache and headaches in the future.
Arizona is a “no fault state.” In other words, you do not need to state any specific reason why you want a divorce, nor does your spouse have to agree to a divorce.
As explained before, Arizona is a no fault state. So certain bad actions will not affect the divorce issues. For example a spouse is not entitled to an unequal division of property, spousal maintenance or other relief just because the other spouse was unfaithful. The same thing applies if one of the spouses abused alcohol or drugs. However, there could be side-claims arising from such behavior. For example, if a party used community funds for such indiscretions the other spouse could have a reimbursement / waste claim. The continued use of alcohol and drugs could also be relevant to parenting issues such as legal decision-making and parenting time. These are all matters that should be discussed with a family law attorney.
