Your attorney questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does an attorney cost?

Attorneys charge $100 to $300 per hour on average, depending on their experience and specialization. Attorneys in small towns or those still in training cost $100 to $200 per hour, while experienced lawyers in large cities charge $200 to $400 per hour.

These fees cover research, court filings, travel, documents, and advice. Some attorneys are willing to charge a flat-rate fee for simple projects, such as:

  • $700 for an uncontested divorce
  • $1,000 for writing a prenup
  • $300 for writing a simple will
  • $1,200 to write a will for a complex estate

What is an attorney?

An attorney is a legal representative who conducts business on your behalf and can represent you in court. There are multiple different kinds of attorneys with different specialties, including:

  • Personal injury
  • Real estate
  • Corporate
  • Civil rights
  • Divorce
  • Prosecutor
  • Tax law
  • Immigration
  • Family and estate, or probate and wills attorneys

Though the terms "lawyer" and "attorney" are often used interchangeably by the general public, the two are not the same. Both go to law school and can give legal advice, but lawyers cannot represent anyone in court because they haven't passed the bar exam.

Do I need an attorney?

Attorneys are responsible for guiding clients through stressful, difficult situations, such as:

  • A car accident, fall, or other accident that resulted in an injury
  • Being arrested or accused of a crime
  • Filing for bankruptcy
  • A family crisis such as divorce, adoption, death, or custody dispute

What is a retainer fee?

A retainer fee is what attorneys charge for essentially being on call. Attorneys either calculate retainer fees based on how many hours they expect to work within a month or the total time they plan to work on your case.

Many attorneys keep track of time spent on phone calls or emails and apply that time towards their fees. You'll have to pay more if your case takes up more time than the retainer fee covers.

How do lawyers make money if they lose a case?

Attorneys usually charge a fee for their time, whether they win the case or not. Some lawyers work on contingency, meaning they will take a percentage of awards if they win the case, but many do not. Make sure you are aware of an attorney's fee arrangement before continuing.

What is power of attorney?

Power of attorney (POA) is a legally binding agreement allowing a person you designate to make choices about your finances, medical care, or property. This allows a trusted friend, spouse, or family member to act on your behalf when you can no longer make choices on your own.

How do I choose an attorney?

Search our list of attorneys, then:

  • Get at least three free estimates from different firms to compare.
  • Read reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Choose an attorney with a good reputation and experience with your case type.
  • Verify that they passed the bar and are qualified to represent you.
  • Get a written estimate or contract before any casework takes place.
  • Arrange a payment schedule instead of making a large payment up front.

After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the best attorney in your area.

What questions should I ask attorneys?

When looking for an attorney near you, consider these questions:

  • What degrees and experience do you have as an attorney?
  • How long ago did you pass the bar?
  • Do you give free consultations?
  • Are you able to take on new clients at this time?
  • What are your fees?
  • How many cases like mine have you won?
  • Will you give me a contract in writing?

Denise S.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Our case was unique and quite involved. We (and our child) were treated kindly and the staff followed through with us beginning to end. Add in follow up calls, emails and there was a strong bond in helping us help our child. Difficult case, difficult people on the opposite side and yet, not once did we ever feel that we were no valued. I highly recommend, strongly so. Very thankful for this law firm.

Dann was incredible! My business financial records were a mess because I had been improperly using Quickbooks online for 2+ years. I didn’t understand accounting, needed help cleaning up my books and wanted training in order to handle the financial records myself. After having wasted hundreds of dollars on supposed ‘Quickbooks experts’ who billed $80/hour and knew little more than I did, I found Dann through Thervo. He responded immediately to my request for help and we scheduled our first meeting at my business two days later. We spent an hour reviewing my records and discussing my objective for hiring him. The next day he contacted me with a proposal in which he correctly identified the specific issues causing my problems and recommended a strategy for revamping my entire accounting system. Having earned an MBA from Harvard and having previously taught college accounting courses, Dann was expertly qualified, likely overqualified, to address my issues. I was AMAZED! Within two weeks my books were in balance and I knew how to generate and analyze profit and loss statements. As a result of Dann’s help, I can now manage the business financial records myself; however, I love knowing if I run into new problems, Dann is just a phone call away. I highly recommend Dann! He was a huge help to me and I will take advantage of his business expertise again in the future to grow my business! You are welcome to call me anytime at (913) 312-1885 for additional information regarding my experience with Dann Kroeger, managing partner at KTS Consulting Group.
