Divorce, Without the Price Tag
Every penny moves your family’s dispute toward resolution.
Divorce costs can grow far beyond the initial retainer
“I spent $155,000 on my divorce. I had to lose an incredible interest rate and refinance my house to afford it. The crazy thing is, we’re a low-middle class family. We had no right to spend that much money on something like this.”
“By the time the process was over, I could have paid my attorney’s entire salary. The firm ended up putting a lien on my house because I couldn’t afford the bill.”
“My brother spent $200,000 on his divorce. That’s tuition for all of his kids, gone.”
