In addition to the above items, we will also work with you to answer all your questions during the course of the transaction.

What happens if your transaction reaches a dead end?  We will work with you to purchase one additional property, within six months of our start date OR you may terminate our services and I will bill you at my hourly rate for the time spent on your file (not exceeding the flat fee of course). In other words, if you decide you want out of a transaction you do not have to worry about additional legal fees on the second transaction. Other attorneys may charge you a fee for a set number of hours and if you exceed that number of hours they will tack on additional charges at their hourly rate.  There are no hourly limits to my flat fee and we consider our service to be the most all inclusive fee available in this market. 

No flat fee offered at any price is worth anything unless accompanied by the highest commitment to service. We encourage you to look at our online reviews to see for yourself how our clients measure our service in comparison to our fees. You will find that our combination of superior service and quality representation makes our clients extremely satisfied.
