Fees<\/a>, both on this website and on our blog. Nobody else does that.

\nDo you see it?<\/p>\nOur Philosophy on Fair Pricing<\/h2>\n
A lot of people miss this, not because it\u2019s hidden in any way (it\u2019s right there, after all), but rather because nobody expects\u00a0<\/em>to find a lawyer or law firm publishing anything like that. Why?
\nWhat\u2019s the big secret about fees, anyway?
\nMy team and I believe in transparency, and we operate by the principle to \u201ctreat everyone as you would wish to be treated.\u201d To us, that means being upfront about price and actually listing our charges. How much a lawyer is going to cost should NEVER be any kind of secret.<\/strong>
\nThat makes our office different from everyone else, but in a good way<\/em>.<\/p>\nEthical Considerations in Pricing<\/h2>\n
When we’re on the consumer side of things, my team and I try to stay away from any business that is secretive about costs.
\nEverything ultimately comes down to money, and if that subject isn\u2019t handled honestly and openly, then (at least to us), that\u2019s a huge red flag.
\nWe understand that some lawyers want to \u201csell themselves\u201d before talking money. We also understand that some lawyers want to \u201cgauge\u201d how much they should charge based upon what they determine a client can or will pay.
\nWe realize that those tactics are, in fact, widely used, but we don\u2019t agree with them, and our firm doesn\u2019t use them.
\nEver<\/em>.<\/strong>
\nHere again, we circle back to the ideal of treating others as you would want to be treated. That\u2019s the principle by which my team and I operate, and being clear about money is an important part of that.
\nThink about it like this: If your furnace goes out on a cold winter day, you don\u2019t want the company you call to charge you twice as much because you seem to have a better ability to pay, or, because you need it fixed right away, and are therefore vulnerable.
\nMost people would probably agree that it is morally wrong for some company to charge the next customer way more, for the very same service, just because they can get away with it. That\u2019s dishonest, and it\u2019s just plain wrong<\/em>.
\nFair is fair, and the way we see it, a legal fee is fair <\/em>when it is based upon the likely work for a particular case, and not simply that it\u2019s the most a lawyer can manage to \u201cget\u201d from someone.<\/p>\nPricing Transparency Sets Us Apart<\/p>\n
We’re not saying that every lawyer does that, but we are the ONLY lawyers (at least that we know of) who actually publish their fees online.
\nIt doesn\u2019t matter to us if someone is of average means, or is filthy rich; our prices are the same for everyone, just like the prices at the grocery store, the hospital, and just about everywhere else.
\nThat\u2019s fair.<\/strong><\/em>
\nOur prices are far from cheap, but they\u2019re not outrageous, either.
\nAnyone price-shopping, or looking for a \u201cdeal\u201d should keep on looking right past us, because we do NOT compete with anyone else based on cost, and we are nowhere near the most affordable.
\nWe are a premium DUI law firm, offering top-notch legal representation, and we charge accordingly.
\nRemember: Success in a DUI case is always best measured by what does NOT happen to you<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\nNo Surprises in Billing<\/h2>\n
That said, it’s important to keep in mind that, although a person will never get better legal services than what he or she pays for, it is also true that lots of lawyers charge WAY more than they really are worth.
\nIt is an unfortunate fact that too many lawyers charge premium fees for nothing more than average legal services.
\nWorse yet, because nobody else discloses their charges up front, a potential client has to waste a lot of time before he or she ever even finds out what some lawyer or law firm is going to cost.
\nThat\u2019s ridiculous.<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf you want to know much we charge, just have a look.
\nIf our fees are more than what someone wants to pay, they can see that for themselves and don\u2019t have to waste their time – or ours.
\nIt’s worth repeating – how much a lawyer charges for a DUI case should NEVER be any kind of secret.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>
\nIt wasn’t some stroke of marketing genius that inspired us to list our fees back on our first website many years ago; it just seemed like the right thing to do, and we\u2019ve just done it ever since.
\nThe age-old practice of keeping prices \u201cquiet\u201d is outdated, especially now, in the information age. It doesn\u2019t make any sense that someone can find almost unlimited information on just about every aspect of DUI cases online, but can\u2019t find a single price for a DUI lawyer.
\nOur fees always start out with a \u201cfrom\u201d amount, but that\u2019s an honest disclaimer because it can, on occasion, take more time to handle a case in one court versus another, or the facts can make it significantly more complicated, and therefore, more time-consuming.
\nThose are the exceptions, though. In most cases, the \u201cfrom\u201d price is the final price.<\/strong>
\nHowever, if a case will cost more than that \u201cfrom\u201d price we list, my team and I will ALWAYS quote the exact amount over the phone once we get the necessary details, and in NO circumstances is the final price ever significantly more than that \u201cfrom\u201d price.
\nFinding the answer to \u201cHow much do you charge?\u201d should always be easy – and with our firm, it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Transparency in Legal Fees As Michigan DUI lawyers, we get emails and questions all the time asking about our fees.
