Payment Plans & Fee Structures
Flexible Options for Legal Representation
At Hart Law, we know that hiring an attorney is rarely something you plan for in advance. Legal issues often arise unexpectedly, and legal fees can feel overwhelming. As a small business ourselves, we understand what it means to balance financial obligations while trying to do the right thing for your family or your business. That’s why we offer a variety of fee structures—including payment plans in qualifying matters—to help you get the representation you need, when you need it most.
Why We Offer Options
We’ve built our practice on the understanding that:
- Legal fees can be expensive.
- Legal needs often arise at the most unexpected times.
- Every client’s financial situation is unique.
By offering several different fee structures—including subscriptions and payment plans where appropriate—we make it possible to pursue your case at a reasonable and manageable pace.

Our Fee Models
Retainer Agreements
Most legal matters at Hart Law are handled through a retainer agreement. Common examples include:
- Family Law (divorce, custody, support)
- Civil Litigation (lawsuits, disputes, appeals)
A retainer ensures that funds are available to cover your ongoing legal needs, with your account being billed as work is performed.
Contingency Fees
For certain types of cases—such as personal injury matters—we work on a contingency basis. This means you don’t pay attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you.
Flat Fees
When the anticipated work is predictable, we often charge a flat fee. These matters may include:
- Criminal Defense
- Business Organization Formation (LLCs, corporations)
- Estate Planning (wills, powers of attorney, trusts)
- Real Estate Transactions
Flat fees provide peace of mind by letting you know the cost up front. Some flat fee matters may also qualify for payment plan options.
Hybrid Arrangements
Certain cases may use a blended approach. For example, a partial flat fee with contingency, or a reduced retainer with ongoing payment plan options, depending on the complexity of the matter.
Payment Plans
Subscription Plans for Small Businesses
Running a business means legal questions don’t always fit neatly into one case or one retainer. That’s why Hart Law offers tiered subscription plans designed specifically for small businesses.
For a reasonable, up-front cost spread across affordable monthly payments, you can have your own “in-house counsel”—a trusted attorney on call when you need them most. Whether it’s contract reviews, compliance concerns, or general business advice, our subscription model ensures you’re never left without guidance.
Get ongoing legal support for your business starting at under the cost of your monthly internet bill. Build, grow, and protect your business—without breaking the bank.

Payment Plans: Making Legal Help Accessible
We believe everyone deserves access to quality legal representation. That’s why some legal services can be financed through payment plans. Payment plans are available on a case-by-case basis and may include:
- Monthly Installments with agreed terms
- Milestone Payments tied to stages of your case
- Custom Schedules that work for both parties
Our goal is to make sure cost is not the reason you go without legal help.
