Legal fees should not be a secret. We provide cost-effective services. FEES Hourly Rates Sage Legal Solutions bills according to who is working on your matter. Our rates for Lawyers range between $225-$325 per hour. Legal services performed by students, paralegals, and clerks are charged at a lesser rate which is specified in your retainer agreement. Deposit Prior to beginning work, a $3,000 to $5,000 retainer is due, depending on the complexity of your case. This is held in trust, and once work begins on your case, you are billed periodically with the funds coming from your retainer deposit. Top-ups are due when required, but after your case is completed, any funds remaining in trust will be returned to you. Additional Information We offer unbundled legal services, or full service.
