FLAT-FEE PRICING

Know Exactly What You’ll Pay—No Surprises

When you’re already dealing with tax debt, the last thing you need is uncertainty about legal fees. That’s why we charge flat fees for our services, not hourly rates. You’ll know exactly what you’ll pay before we begin work—no surprise bills, no meter running, no anxiety about how long your case takes.

How Flat Fee Pricing Works

After your free consultation, we provide a clear, written fee quote based on the service you need. The quote covers all work required to resolve your tax matter, including:

Document gathering and analysis
Correspondence with the IRS or state tax authorities
Negotiation of installment agreements or settlements
Preparation of financial disclosures
Representation at hearings or appeals (if needed)
Regular status updates throughout your case

Once you agree to the fee and sign the engagement letter, that’s what you pay—regardless of how many hours we spend on your case.

Why We Don’t Bill Hourly

Hourly billing creates perverse incentives. The longer your case takes, the more money the attorney makes. We believe that’s backwards. Our goal is to resolve your tax problems efficiently, not to maximize billable hours.

Flat fees also give you peace of mind. You can call us with questions, send emails, or request updates without worrying that every interaction is adding to your bill. We want you to stay informed and engaged in your case, not avoid contact because you’re afraid of the cost.

Comparing Flat Fees to Hourly Billing

Many tax attorneys charge $300-$500 per hour. A straightforward installment agreement case might take 10-15 hours, resulting in a bill of $3,000-$7,500. A complex residency audit could easily consume 40-80 hours, leading to bills of $12,000-$40,000 or more.

With our flat fee model, you know the cost upfront. A simple installment agreement is $3,500. A routine residency audit is $10,000. No surprises, no bill shock, no uncertainty.

What’s Included in Your Flat Fee

Your flat fee covers:

All attorney and team time required to resolve your case
Unlimited email and phone communication
Document preparation and filing

What’s Not Included
