Distinguished Legal Group Family Law

Our Rates

Transparency is key in understanding your attorney fees. Distinguished Legal Group prides itself on offering community attorney rates of $350 to $650 per hour, depending on the complexity of the case. Your case will require an original retainer which will vary, but is typically starting at $5,000. While no attorney can estimate the total amount of attorney fees since it often depends on the actions of the other party, the attorney and client will regularly meet to determine the most cost-effective and necessary services. Distinguished Legal Group performs its legal services while being cognizant of the client’s financial situation.

Court Costs

In order to initiate a divorce, legal separation, annulment, or paternity case, the Los Angeles Superior Court requires a fee of $435.00 per party.

For a court hearing for temporary orders including child custody, child support or spousal support, attorney’s fees, or any other issues, the Court requires a fee of about $100.00 – $140.00 in Los Angeles County. In certain circumstances when a party is considered “low income”, the court can waive these initial costs. However, the majority of individuals are expected to pay their own court costs.

Confidential Consultation

During this valuable and important conversation with the attorney, you will be able to discuss your questions and concerns. If you are in the process of a divorce or other family law matter, please bring all your court documents with you to maximize the benefit of this experience. At this point, both the attorney and the potential client will be able to determine if they are a good fit to work together.
