AFFORDABLE | EFFICIENT | TRANSPARENT
At Primera, we strive for excellence and efficiency, and we believe we can offer these legal services in a way that is affordable to you. We understand that not everyone can afford the traditional hourly rates charged by most attorneys and that most people do not have unlimited budgets for legal services. Yet, every individual should have a right to counsel and justice, no matter how much money she has; and individuals should know at the outset how much legal representation will cost them.
No more hourly rates! Our firm is unique in that we do not charge by the hour. After an initial consultation, we will work with you to price out a fair and reasonable flat fee that is individualized to your case. On some cases, we may agree to work on contingency.
While you can hire us to take on your case from start to finish, we also offer unbundled legal services, which means that our attorneys can help you with discrete parts of your case while you handle the rest of your case. For example, you might only work up your case until trial, and then hire us to represent you solely for trial, or vice versa. This option is ideal for our clients who desire to save fees and retain more control over their cases. We can handle the discrete tasks/phases (identified below) you would like us to take on. What does that mean for you?
-
No nickle & diming you for every call with us. You pay only for each concrete task we take on below.
-
Full transparency & no more uncertainty regarding attorney's fees
-
Flexibility regarding which legal services you would like us to take on
