Flat fees

Pay for the stage you're in

Each fee covers the work listed, whatever the hours turn out to be. You decide about the next stage when you get there.

  • Letter review

    A video call and a written read of the board's letter: what it says, what it asks, the deadline and a plan. A paid first stage with a set fee, quoted when you book.

    • Forty-five minute video call

    • Written summary within two business days

    • Credited to your next stage if you hire us within two weeks

    Ask about this stage
  • Written response, renewal or reinstatement

    We draft the filing, assemble the exhibits and send them, after you've checked every fact. The fee follows how much paper the board will read.

    • Response letter and cover letter

    • Up to forty pages of exhibits

    • One round of your edits

    • Renewal or reinstatement applications, with follow-up until the board decides

    Ask about this stage
  • Interview, conference or settlement

    Preparation, and a lawyer next to you for the investigator interview or the informal conference. Billed per stage, so you pay only for the one you reach.

    • Two preparation sessions by video

    • Attendance at the interview or conference

    • Review of any proposed consent order

    Ask about this stage
  • Formal hearing

    Preparation and two hearing days, with a written brief when the judge allows one. The fee follows the number of hearing days.

    • Exhibit list and witness outlines

    • Up to two hearing days

    • Post-hearing brief

    Ask about this stage

Each stage is one flat fee, quoted before it starts. Board and filing fees, records fees, evaluations, expert witnesses, transcripts and travel to an in-person hearing are paid by you, billed at cost, and quoted before we spend them. A third hearing day or court review of a denial is quoted on its own. Fees are the same whatever the outcome, and no outcome is promised.

Costs paid separately

What the fee never includes

  • Board and filing fees

    Paid to the board, at the amount it sets. We tell you the amount before you pay.

  • Experts and evaluations

    A clinician's evaluation, a forensic accountant or a standards expert. We quote them first.

  • Transcripts and court reporters

    Billed by the provider at cost, only if a stage needs them.

  • Travel for in-person hearings

    Most steps are by video. If a hearing must be in person, travel is billed at cost.

Fees fit the stage, not the hours

If your file doesn't match a stage on this page, we'll quote the work in writing before we start.

A call doesn't make us your lawyers; a signed engagement letter does.
