FEES

The Louque Law Firm strives to provide quality representation for its clients at affordable rates. All fee agreements are reduced to writing and signed by the attorney and client so both the firm and the client knows the nature of the fees being charged.      

Flat fees:   The Louque Law Firm ordinarily charges a flat fee for routine matters such as bankruptcy matters, criminal defense, and uncontested divorces (no children, no community property issues, and the other side is unrepresented).   On occasion, we also charge a flat fee per task on debt collection defense matters.  It is difficult to quote a fee for any matter without hearing about your legal matter beforehand.   However, at the end of the initial consultation, you will be made aware of the fee we will charge and the matters covered by the flat fee.     

Hourly Rate:   We ordinarily charge an hourly rate in matters which it is difficult to predict the amount of time that will be involved.     Hourly rates are common in family law matters involving contested divorces, child custody/support proceedings, and community property matters.   We normally require a deposit (retainer) on cases in which we charge an hourly rate.     The amount of the retainer will depend on the complexity of your legal matter. 

Contingency Fees:   We charge a contingency fee for most consumer protection matters, including cases filed under the FDCPA.     In some debt collection defense cases, our fee will be based, in part, on a percentage of the amount saved in settlement.
