Divorce and child custody cases can be complicated and take months and sometimes years to complete. When you pay by the hour, you can’t help but watch the clock and wonder how much every meeting, phone call, or interaction will cost.

 

Evolution’s unique pre-agreed pricing structure establishes an agreed-upon price for your case up front, allowing you to focus on reaching the next phase of your life, your work, and your family – without having to worry about a future bill.

Your first meeting

There’s no cost to sit down and discuss your needs. From there, I will determine what your case might look like, and set a price for your particular matter. Sometimes, this may require more than one meeting, also without charge to you.

Determining the price

Instead of charging for my time, I bill for the value that I offer. I’ve handled hundreds of cases similar to yours, and have deep experience in the details of divorce and child custody.

To arrive at a price requires learning more about your situation and pulling from my knowledge. I may also foresee issues that could come down the road, changes that could cause the initial price to change. I will present and explain a price for my services within one to three business days of our last initial meeting, if not at the meeting itself.

Simple cases vs. Complex cases

In many cases, a separation agreement may handle all the legal requirements to separate. No court or judge necessary.

More complex divorce cases – spousal disagreements, abuse or abandonment, or financial complexities – will require more application of my knowledge and experience. Cases that go to court may require a different price than negotiating a separation agreement. Years of experience in family law give me a sense of how long your case will take and the potential issues associated with your particular matter.

What if things change?

In some cases, situations change for a number of reasons, particularly if your spouse or other parent wants to go to court and not negotiate an agreement. When significant changes to the original plan occur, whatever they may be, we may need to adjust course, which may require not only a change to the original plan but also to the original price.

You be the judge.

TESTIMONIALS

The process of working with Chris was great. He was a tremendous help with my first divorce so naturally I thought of him, and in turn, Evolution Divorce, years later after realizing a shared attorney wouldn’t work as I started down the path of divorcing my second wife. Chris worked quickly to set up a fact-finding meeting and worked diligently to get my divorce through the courts and over the finish line. I loved his “pre-agreed pricing” approach, which, having done hourly billing in the past, helped put my mind at ease. The fact that I didn’t have to worry about any unexpected costs made a stressful situation much easier.

I was going through a really difficult experience, and a friend said I should talk to Chris - she said he was kind and understanding. I gave him a call, and he was certainly both. He was able to guide me step-by-step through my case and provided focus for me. My experience was so emotional and hard to wrap my head around, but he had seen everything I was going through before. Nothing threw him off; he was calm and clear-headed. He is good not only with legal advice, but he is a cheerleader and an advocate for you to get you through the process. It also helped that his pricing was clear, so that I didn’t have to worry about how much everything would cost. This may be his business, but you can tell he truly cares about his clients.

My wife of 17 years and I wanted a collaborative divorce. It was a big transition - she was a stay-at-home-mom and had to go back to work for the first time in years - and we had to create separate living situations and set everything up to be financially sustainable. Chris was great about keeping focused on our two kids and doing what was best for them. The collaborative process requires good communication and collaboration; without Chris, the process would not have worked. He is particularly strong at managing the emotions of everyone involved and served as a sounding board and voice of reason when we hit roadblocks. It has worked out better than I expected, and Chris’ guidance and professionalism is a huge part of that. I am now in a much better place, my kids are healthy and adjusting, and we are able to move on because of the work he did. I will be forever grateful for making such a good choice to hire Chris during this process. I don't  wish anyone to go through it, but if you must I highly recommend hiring Chris if you can.

By having pricing established up front, Chris really helped me focus on getting through the case and not concerning myself with surprise fees. Most of my work with Chris was virtual; I live on the West Coast, he's in Virginia, but it didn’t matter - he is incredibly responsive over email, text and phone. When we did meet in person, he was everything I expected. He’s a people person. Communication is so important in these kinds of cases; some lawyers get so swamped and don't have time, but he puts in the effort and makes time to call you back and respond.

My situation was extremely difficult and complex. But from the moment I met Chris, he very clearly explained how everything would work and how he would approach my certain custody and divorce situation. He was so easy to work with and beyond that, just incredibly supportive. I was impressed by his communications; he was always prompt to respond at all hours through either phone or email. Chris is an extremely knowledgable, caring person and I would highly recommend him to others.
