When a family law attorney needs assistance, either because of a short deadline or because the issue is novel or complex and needs extensive nationwide research, Family Law Consulting will provide the precise assistance needed. The oral or written product is tailored to the attorney's specific research needs and time deadline, within an affordable budget, making Family Law Consulting an effective way to save the family law attorney time and money — time that can be used more effectively in the business of family law.

The family law attorney contacts Family Law Consulting, either by telephone, e-mail, or letter, and Family Law Consulting and the attorney will mutually outline the issue or issues to be researched, specify the written product, and agree on a price and deadline, all before the research has begun and without any cost incurred.

The price is based on a billing rate of $250 per hour. Given its more than thirty years in research and writing, Family Law Consulting is able to give a bottom line price for the research and writing at the start of the project, based upon an estimate of how long the project will take. This price will never be exceeded for the agreed upon project. No surcharge is added for expedited service, WestLaw, Fed-Ex, postage, or other overhead expenses. Further, if the project takes less time than anticipated, only the number of hours actually expended will be charged.

Some family law attorneys have been so pleased with Family Law Consulting and its services, they have established an ongoing relationship with Family Law Consulting, thereby increasing their savings. If an attorney or law firm guarantees Family Law Consulting at least 15 hours of work per month for at least six consecutive months, the billing rate drops to $200 per hour.
