Typical Legal Fees

Straightforward Help. Reasonable Fees.

I believe people should have a general idea of what common legal services may cost before scheduling an appointment.

The amounts shown below are my typical fees. Every case is different, so I need to learn about your situation before I can confirm the fee or agree to accept the matter.

A Little More About Form Assistance

I do not recommend representing yourself in court. There can be many pitfalls to doing so. However, if hiring an attorney to handle your entire divorce, dissolution or custody case is not financially possible, I may be able to help on a limited basis.

I can help identify and complete the standardized forms that may be needed and explain what to expect at a hearing. When our meeting ends, my limited representation also ends unless we make another arrangement. You remain responsible for filing the documents and representing yourself.

Do You Have a Different Legal Matter?

I may consider other matters in Wood or Henry County, including certain criminal cases in Bowling Green Municipal Court or Napoleon Municipal Court.

After 37 years of practicing law, I feel I best serve my clients—and myself—by not accepting highly contested, complex or high-dollar cases. There are good attorneys in the area who handle those kinds of matters.

I prefer to limit my practice to serving reasonable clients with reasonable situations at a reasonable fee.
