I may soon be in need of legal services in the Turks and Caicos. Thus, I would welcome your expediency and transparency in answering the following questions prior to an initial consultation of my case. Thank you.
Do you charge for an initial consultation? If so, what?
Is any part of your work on contingency?
If the case involves real estate, is there a percentage-based fee involved?
If you charge an hourly rate, what billing fractions do you use (e.g. 1/10 or 1/25 etc.)
Do you charge different rates for different attorneys’ services?
What do you charge for land/title searches or do you use the services of a title company for such? If so, what do they charge?
Do you charge for the costs of long distance calls in addition to attorney-time taken?
Besides court costs and filing fees are there other charges a client might be expected to pay?
