How the four bands work
Pricing reflects depth of review.
After the intake review, I assign your matter to one band based on case complexity and document volume.
Band A
Foundation
$3,500
Early-stage cases. Organized record. Low document volume. Limited conflict. Strategic question is about positioning before things escalate.
Band B
Active Case
$7,500
Active mid-case matters. Moderate document volume. Some conflict. Strategic question is about settlement posture, mediation prep, or next-phase tactics.
Band C
High-Conflict
$12,500
Complex or high-conflict cases. Higher-value disputes. More moving pieces. A major decision point or a sense that the strategy isn't working.
Band D
War Room
$19,500
350+ docket entries. Messy or contested record. Complex assets, multiple motion practice, high stakes. An expert attorney's full re-read.
Most clients land in Band B ($7,500). Band assignment is made by the attorney, not the client — and the $500 intake credits toward whichever band you're assigned.
