Avoid Breaking The Bank On Attorney Fees And C0sts With Jos Family Law!

Legal issues are already stressful enough, but when you have to pay thousands of dollars in attorney fees and costs, they become even more so. Many people choose to take care of their own legal matters instead of hiring a family law attorney, but doing so can actually end up costing you more in the long run.

If you're going through child custody, divorce, or any family law dispute, it's crucial to hire an attorney who knows the ins & outs of family law and can help you get the best outcome achievable in your situation. Jos Family Law offers excellent legal representation at reasonable attorney fees & costs with flexible payment plans for clients.

Know Before You Go!

Before selecting a family law attorney, it is important to know what type of representation you need. If, for instance, you are filing for divorce or legal separation and would like an attorney to handle your matter from the start-finish, then that is considered all-inclusive representation.

If you would like help with just one aspect of the process, such as drafting paperwork or discussing settlement options with your spouse's lawyer, then this is called limited scope representation. Limited scope representation can also include being appointed as guardian ad litem for children in contested custody cases.

However, unlike all-inclusive representation, there may be additional fees for certain tasks performed by the attorney. For example, if your case goes to trial and you want someone other than the original attorney to argue on your behalf at trial, then there will be additional costs.

In general, it is a good idea to get some guidance before hiring an attorney about what services are included in their fee agreement. So you do not end up spending more money than necessary on unforeseen charges. Our experts at Jos Family Law are here to address any concerns & will be able to guide you through the fee structure.

Talk With Your Attorney About The Expenses & Fee Structure

Some attorneys offer flat fees, while others charge by time spent. The fee structure your attorney offers you will dictate how much of a financial burden you have to take when considering the cost of hiring them. When speaking with an attorney about their fee structure, it is important to be forthcoming about what type of case you have.

Who your opponent is, & what kind of help you need so that they can tailor their services to meet your needs - as closely as possible. If you are really worried about not being able to afford the costs associated with hiring a family law attorney, don't hesitate to call for an initial consultation.

Jos Family Law offers seasoned expertise at a reasonable rate. With over 55years of combined experience, Jos Family Law is considered to be among the top law firms, offering world-class services at a fraction of the cost. Contact us now to know more.

Remember, Lawyers, Are People Too!

Lawyers have to eat, too. Lawyers are people with families, mortgages, and tuition payments like everyone else. Some lawyers often get pressured into charging clients a premium just because they're experts in their fields. Before you agree to an attorney's fee or cost, think about whether the price is fair. If you're not sure if it's reasonable or not, why not ask?

At Jos Family Law, we believe that every client should have robust legal representation at an affordable rate, so they can make well-informed decisions about their case. We offer reasonable attorney fees and costs with flexible payment plans for clients. The more flexible payment plans are, the less likely you are to go over your budget at any given time.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

This was the second attorney that represented me for my divorce. Binoye is a very knowledgeable, fair and professional attorney. They are reliable and this made my experience way less painful. They are definitely not greedy for money, they are not one of the many attorneys out there that overbill for their services. I truly recommend them.

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!
