Hourly Rates and Fees

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Martin M. del Mazo bill at an hourly rate of $200/hour out of court and $300.00 per hour in court. We do not charge a flat fee on contested matters.  However, at our initial meeting we should be able to provide you with a reasonable estimate of the price range for achieving your objective.

Obviously, without personally evaluating your case we can only provide a rough approximate of the range of fees charged in our prior cases.  The prices below are not the average cost of our domestic litigation fees but rather they indicate the most common charges associated with our representation.

Collaborative divorce without children:
$1,000 $1,500

Collaborative divorce with children:
$2,500- $3,500

Collaborative divorce with substantial assets:
$5,000- $7,500

Modification of Child Support:
$2,500-$5,500

Modification of Custody:
$3,500-$10,000

Legitimation with Custody:
$3,500-$7,500

Temporary Protective Order:
$1500-$2500

Highly Contested Divorce with children, contested custody and substantial asset in disputes:
$15,000 $50,000

Please be aware that domestic litigation can become an arms race; keeping down the price of litigation when the other-side (or other side s attorney) is hell bent on over-litigating these matters can become extremely expensive quickly; subject to these limitations you can feel confident that the price ranges published above accurately reflect prior fees associated with our representation .   Family law judges are keenly aware of the problem of over litigating matters. You should realize that if one party attempts to outspend the other party, simply as a matter of strategy, the courts may not look favorably on such a tactic and may compel the offending party to pay the opposing party s attorneys fees; reason enough to encourage our client s to keep the cost of litigation under control.
