Contingency cases are a free meeting. Everything else, I get paid for an hour’s worth of time.
Thanks.
I’m plaintiff’s side PI & all my consults are free. They oftentimes go for 60-90 minutes, which is a lot, but that allows me to get a ton of detail to see if the case is worth taking.
Thanks
I represent lawyers and law firms as outside General Counsel and do free consults (let me know if you want to chat) BUT I always recommend my client law firms consider charging and waiving the fee if the prospect engages the firm.
That is a great option. Thank you.
We do first 15 or 30 min free (it depends on the referral source). We also take a credit card to run in the event it goes over that amount of time. And we let them know right after how much time/expense it was, which is based on our hourly rate.
Thanks.
Hourly. And I practice in tax...
Thanks
Hourly.
Thanks
I started my own solo practice November 1st but I have free 30 min or 60 min consults for family law matters. In my area, that’s typical from what I’ve heard.
I’m in consumer bankruptcy. At least in my market, a free initial consultation is the norm, so that’s what I do. I can usually knock one out in 30 minutes or less, although I block off 60 minutes on my calendar in case a prospect has a complicated case. Also, this helps prevent getting stuck with back-to-back meetings.
A few of my competitors tried charging initial consultation fees that were credited toward a flat attorney fee for the case if the prospect retained. Apparently this didn’t work out too well, because I haven’t seen it in years now.
