Flat-Fees for Legal Services
At Ling & Liang PLLC, we believe legal services should be straightforward and transparent.
That’s why we offer flat-fee pricing for many of our estate planning, probate, and business formation services.
*All flat fees listed below are examples only. Final flat fee quotes are determined after we receive information about your circumstances and the specific details of your matter.
*Please note that not all legal work can be performed on a flat-fee basis. For matters outside the scope of a flat fee arrangement, my hourly rate is $350 per hour, billed in tenths of an hour (for example, 6 minutes = $35).
