For most cases we will charge a fixed fee for an initial consultation with a client to evaluate the facts and law relevant to the case and provide recommendations concerning solutions to address the client’s needs and objectives. However, we do provide certificates for reduced initial consultations to 1) persons who attend my seminars and presentations, and 2) family members of existing clients. You may visit our website, www.ArkansasElderLaw.com, to obtain information about upcoming seminars and presentations.  Existing clients may obtain certificates for their family members by contacting the law firm.  If you have a certificate, please inform the staff member when you schedule the consultation and provide it to the attorney at the beginning of your meeting. Are there extra fees for a Priority Consult? Yes, in an emergency you need the right advice fast. a Priority Consult means you take priority.  We will schedule you at the earliest possible time including weekends and after hours. What type of fee arrangements does the Law Firm use? We commonly use two different types of fee arrangements: 1) Fixed fee and 3) Hourly Billing. For the majority of our cases we charge a fixed fee for legal services. This fee is set at the initial meeting and is based upon the facts disclosed at the initial meeting, the difficulty of the issues involved and our estimate of the time that will be required to provide the requested services. For example, we will commonly use fixed fees for estate planning, Medicaid asset protection planning, Medicaid applications and uncontested guardianships. Where a fixed fee is charged, we will request the fee when we begin the matter.
