Rhine Ernest LLP recognizes that cost is a very
important factor in legal representation. We take several steps to make sure our
clients are satisfied with the cost of our services.
First, we talk about it - and we talk about it first. We make every attempt for
each client to understand how we bill for our services before we undertake
representation. Throughout representation, we communicate with you on costs.
Second, we are competitive. Location, overhead and other factors enable us to
keep our fees affordable. Many of our clients have commented that our fees have
surprised them, but it was a pleasant surprise.
Third, we offer alternatives. Where possible, we offer a flat fee for a certain
task, rather than hourly billing. We can often make costs for services a fixed
amount, which the client can rely upon in planning the transaction or case.
Fourth, we make cost-conscious decisions. We can help create a budget for a
transaction or case and work within that budget. We focus on the big picture, spend
our time carefully on matters that count and never just go through the motions,
no matter how traditional. We understand our clients' business, and we strive to
make sure everything we do offers real benefit to the client.
Finally, our policy of accepting work only if we are experienced and well-qualified
assures our clients that we efficiently spend our time and effort directly on the
task at hand.
