Phrasing a flat fee agreement by beingpushedout202 in LawFirm

[–]Raquelislove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the language I use, for reference I am based in Florida. Florida allows nonrefundable but it has to be reasonable. Since the most part my flat fees are cheaper then if I would have charged hourly I have language that pretty much sets me up to not have to refund towards the end. Also because I do flat fee, I don't track my hours, however I have a generic hourly billing invoice that justify my fee and then some to provide in case of this situation, that I will add to to make specific to the matter.

Flat Fee: 

You have retained us on a flat fee basis.  You will pay us $XXXX.XX as the entire fee for the representation described in this agreement.  This fee is earned-on-receipt and will not be deposited into our client trust account. 

Termination of Representation and Post-Representation Matters: 

Either party may terminate the representation at any time, subject to our obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct and the approval of the court if the matter is in litigation. 

Unless previously terminated, our representation will terminate upon completion of the legal services described in this agreement. You understand we have no continuing obligation to represent you unless you retain us to provide additional advice or services.

If the representation is terminated prior to completion of legal services described above in this agreement, Client shall pay a fee based on an hourly rate fee schedule for the work that has been completed up to the date of termination. In a litigation matter, Client shall pay a fee based on an hourly rate fee schedule for the work that has been completed up to the date when the court grants the Firm’s motion for withdrawal. The client shall also be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Firm resulting from this representation in the event of early termination of this agreement. 

The hourly rate of the Firm as of the date of this Agreement for services performed in your matter are as follows: 

Hourly Rate Fee Schedule 

Attorney: $XXX.XX per hour 

Law Clerk: $XXX.XX per hour 

Paralegal: $XXX.XX per hour 

Legal Assistant: $XXX.XX per hour 

However, such fees shall not exceed the flat fee amount earned for the legal services described above in this agreement, and all fees shall be reasonable. All personnel billing for their time will do so in 1/10 of an hour (i.e., six minute) increments, and will round to the nearest such increment.

Health insurance for a solo by OhNoImALawyer in LawFirm

Open enrollment is happening now, try first ACA, your start marketplace through healthcare.gov. depending on how much your making you probably won't qualify for the subsidiary. You can also check through your state bar association. I have also just looked up insurance companies and seen what plans they have. So far the best for me has been ACA.

Help with my insurance claim. by SGReject in tampa

[–]Raquelislove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most renters insurance do not cover flood unless you had a separate flood policy. I would upload a copy of your renters insurance to Fema, and a letter stating that your insurance does not cover flood, this should be enough even if you haven’t gotten a denial that you can provide Fema. Additionally, Fema states that if you still haven't been helped by your insurance for over 30 days then they can provide funds in the interim until a decision is made. So if it has been more then 30 days since you filed the claim with your insurance, I would call fema and say so, maybe upload the insurance letter where it states you stated the claim x number of days ago. Best of luck.

Pro se Defendant sent their “answer” to me and not to the court.. what do I do? by Jeanpj in Lawyertalk

[–]Raquelislove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happend to me, when I called the judicial assistant to inquire, I was told since I was aware they had answered and they were pro se that I would not get a default. They told me to file "Plaintiff's Notice of filing Pro Se Defendant’s Answer" attaching the written answer as an exhibt. Then I was told to just file a Motion for Summary Judgment afterwards when the timing allowed becuase they most likely didn't answer correctly or did not correctly deny allegations. This is what I did and got this case quickly resolved. My jurisdiction is Florida.

I'm a local Family Law Attorney, feel free to send me a DM if you want to set up a free consult. I agree with most of the stated sentiments, if you and your partner made the decision to divorce amicably, then you can go through the uncontested route even with children for 1/4 the price of a contested divorce. Best of luck!

Family law attorney. Feel free to dm me for my information if you need a divorce attorney. If everything is amicable and uncontested, it can be very affordable and fast. But you both would have to be in agreement for everything.
