How it works

Representation, rebuilt around you

Licensed attorneys, full representation when you want it — structured so the failures of traditional firms can't happen.

01

Start with a free consultation

Talk to a licensed attorney by video for 15 minutes, free, before you spend a dollar. Ask anything. See if you're comfortable. Then decide — with the full price in front of you.

02

Clear pricing, stage by stage

Filing, discovery, motions, settlement, trial — each stage is priced in writing and approved by you before it begins, as a flat fee or an honest reduced rate. Money tight? Pay for one stage at a time, and pause between stages whenever you need to, without losing your lawyer or your file.

03

A guide through every step

Never hired a lawyer before? You'll always see, in plain English: where your case stands, what happens next, what it will cost, and what's needed from you. No jargon, no mystery, no calling the office to find out what's going on with your own divorce — and a clear written strategy for where your case is headed, kept current in your case file.

04

Nothing happens behind closed doors

You're in the room for every conference the court allows, and you're copied on everything sent to the court and the other side. This commitment is part of the written agreement you sign with your attorney.

05

You own your case file

Every document, deadline, and strategy note lives in a file you control — not in a drawer at a law office. If you ever switch attorneys, your new one is up to speed in an hour, not a $3,000 re-onboarding.

06

Never stand alone in court

Full representation is the default. Handling parts yourself to save money? Add a flat-fee Courtroom Day Pass (an attorney appears with you) or a Mock Hearing — a one-hour rehearsal with an attorney playing your judge.

The stages

The six stages of a divorce case

01FilingComplaint & response
02DiscoveryFinancial disclosure
03MotionsSupport & custody orders
04SettlementNegotiation & agreement
05Trial prepIf settlement fails
06TrialClear per-day pricing

Most divorces settle by stage 4 — which means most of our clients never pay for stages 5 and 6. With open-ended retainers, you find out your total when it's over. Here, you know each stage's price before it starts. (Shown for New Jersey; the sequence is similar in most states.)

And when your case needs someone physically in the courtroom, someone is there — guaranteed. Your attorney travels for the days that matter, or a locally based courtroom attorney from our network stands with you for a clear, pre-agreed fee. You'll never face a courtroom alone.
