We genuinely believe that the Initial Consultation is the essential aspect of any legal case. During the appointment, you can expect to meet an attorney for up to an hour. The attorney will go over the following information.

 

• Identify: No two situations are alike. We actively listen to your concerns, goals, and desired outcomes to identify the main legal issues.​
   

• Educate: We carefully evaluate the case details and discuss the Georgia laws that may apply to your specific case.​ We review the common issues that might come up with similar cases.
   

• Strategic Planning: We go over the logical strategic plans from engagement to potential outcomes. Inform you on what to expect, time frames, estimated cost, and any actionable items​
   

• Evaluation: We schedule the next follow-up and discuss how we will keep you updated about the case.

Some legal services can be provided to a client at a ‘flat-fee’. This type of fee is a one-time fee that does not change no matter how many hours of work are allocated to the case when we start and finish the service. In Natalie Phan Law, fixed fees are usually provided for the services listed below.  Please note that these estimates do not include filing fees and court fees.

This type of fee is the most commonly used in family law. Depending on the complexity of your case, the cost for each case will vary. At Natalie Phan Law, we strive to provide the highest level of service while focusing on keeping your costs low and your results high.

​

Please note, Natalie Phan Law has a retainer of $5,000. A retainer is an upfront deposit paid by the client in exchange for representation. The funds will be billed against as the attorney work on your case. In some cases, additional payments will be required as the balance of the deposited amount is below a set amount.

 

We will periodically communicate with you on the status of your case and the remaining balance of the retainer. This transparency will allow you to have a better expectation of the timeline and cost for your case.

These are the fees that must be paid to the court or third-party to process your case. Which of these fees will apply depends on the type of case and where the case is being filed. Here are some common fees that the court may require:
