Elder Law
Elder Law Lawyers assist people with issues relating to retirement planning, elder care and estate administration.

Most Elder Law services are normally billed at an hourly rate or on a flat fee basis. A retainer or pre-payment is customary and will vary depending on the complexity of your legal issue.  Estate Settlement fees are usually billed based on a percentage of the size of the estate.  Larger and more complex estates typically cost more.  Some states have established standard fees based on the size of the estate.
