What each fee includes

How it works

  1. Call or send the form. Tell us in a sentence or two what is going on.
  2. Meet for 45 minutes. We listen, explain your options and quote a flat fee.
  3. Decide at home. No pressure to sign that day. If you go ahead, the $150 comes off the fee.
  4. We draft, you review, you sign. Most will packages are done in about three weeks.
