Flat Fee Family Law in Marietta, Georgia Since 2008
Legal services and the retaining of an attorney is the only purchase a person makes in which they agree to the service without finalizing the agreed-upon price. Flat Fee Family Law should be the norm, not the exception. When an individual purchases a home, electronics, goes to the dentist or purchases an automobile they know how much they are going to pay for the product or service at the time of the purchase. When they seek the care of a Family Law Attorney not so much. The Law Offices of Sean R. Whitworth has been serving the Greater Atlanta community since 2008 and all services are always billed on a Flat Fee system.
No guessing games when it comes to the cost of your services. We are committed to the Flat Fee Family Law system.
Divorce and Family Law matters are stressful enough, no need to guess your legal bills. When a person sits with an attorney they are told how much they will be billed but not the cost of the actual services. Flat Fees does not mean you get less service or less care. We handle all cases with due diligence.
To the individual’s detriment, they begin receiving invoices from their attorney that they cannot afford, they have already paid thousands for the work performed, and now their attorney withdraws from the matter for unpaid fees, leaving them without legal fees or representation. Sadly, very few legal consumers seek a commitment from their attorney regarding a number of fees expected based on the desired result of the case. Matters tend to be emotional and parties seek satisfaction without realizing the financial pain they may face pursuing these matters.

No Hourly Billing
We Absorb Overages
Most attorneys have done enough cases to know the possible financial obligations necessary to litigate a matter; however, when you are making three hundred dollars an hour is there really an incentive to discuss overall financial costs, limit those costs or commit to a flat rate. We believe that we can help achieve the best possible outcome and not overcharge by implementing the Flat Fee Family Law System.
Because of this many clients discover in the midst of their case that they can no longer continue to afford their lawyer. This can become a big legal issue and often leads to unpaid bills and sometimes even contempt of court.

Flat Fee Family Law in Marietta, Georgia Since 2008
You are quoted one price for the matter before any work begins, and that price does not change with the number of hours spent. There is no hourly billing, no retainer that drains down, and no monthly invoice you cannot predict.
Not necessarily, and the comparison misses the point. With hourly billing you do not know the total until the case is over. With a flat fee you know it on day one and can decide whether the matter is worth pursuing before you commit.
The office absorbs it. If the matter exceeds the estimate, that cost is the firm’s, not the client’s. That is the commitment that makes the model meaningful.
No. The scope of work is defined in the agreement and handled the same way it would be under hourly billing. What changes is who carries the risk of a case running long.
All of them at this firm: divorce, child custody, child support, custody and support modification, alimony, contempt, protective orders, legitimation, prenuptial agreements, and family law appeals.
