Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize this for my practice areas?
Absolutely. The calculator is fully customizable. Add or remove service types, set your own hourly rates, and configure flat-fee packages to match your firm's offerings and practice areas.
Does this support different billing structures?
Yes. The calculator supports hourly rates, flat fees, retainer arrangements, and hybrid billing. You can configure each service type with the appropriate billing model.
Will this give binding quotes to clients?
The calculator provides estimates only. Include appropriate disclaimers noting that actual fees may vary based on case complexity. Final fees are determined after consultation and engagement.
Can I capture client information?
Yes. The submit button collects contact information and case details for follow-up. This helps you qualify leads and prepare for initial consultations.
Is this appropriate for all practice areas?
The calculator works well for transactional and advisory services with predictable scope. For litigation and complex matters, it's best configured to provide consultation rates and indicate that full quotes require case review.
