Costs
Clients are responsible for costs associated with their cases (i.e. fees for filing, service, investigations, appraisals, business valuations, forensic work by accountants, custody evaluations, mediation etc.). Generally speaking, if the services of an expert are required, clients will be required to make an additional advance payment to cover the anticipated costs for the expert’s services.
Advance Payments
Advance payments will be discussed during the initial consultation. An advance payment will be required to secure future representation by Huntington, Huntington & Huntington, PLLC.
A client’s advance payment will be deposited into the firm’s trust account on the client’s behalf. Fees will be debited from the advance payment as fees are earned; costs will be debited from the advance payment as costs are incurred.
In family law cases, any unused portion of the advance payment will be refunded to the client at the conclusion of the case. In the event that a client’s advance payment is insufficient to cover fees and costs, an additional advance payment will be requested.
Naomi R. Huntington will discuss payment schedules with clients on a case-by-case basis.
Billing
In family law cases with hourly billing, invoices are transmitted to clients approximately every six weeks, generally via email, and more frequently upon request.
