What Can I Expect from Hance Law Group, PC?

Hance Law Group, PC uses a sophisticated case management system that allows us to make sure we do exactly what needs to be done when it needs to be done for our clients. This consists of software designed for our attorneys to manage cases (including individual online client folders, which organize appointments, deadlines, tasks, phone logs, and email), digital filing systems for all of your essential documents, and timelines created specifically for your matter to meet your goals.

These systems help us be prepared for whatever may occur during your matter, be more pro-active in resolving your case and be much more efficient, which ultimately saves you money and time and provides a much better result.

We also utilize a value billing model for pricing. Most lawyers bill only by the hour. In other words, clients pay for the time the lawyer spends on the work, rather than paying for a project or specific task. Although it has been the primary method of billing for legal services for many years, hourly billing frequently causes tension and distrust between the lawyer and the client. This can especially be the case with divorce since unknown factors can add time, and hence, cost, to the settlement.

Recognizing that clients are focused on getting a task completed and would like it to be done at a reasonable price in a fair amount of time, some lawyers have moved to more "value-based" billing. The lawyer and client agree that the lawyer will perform a particular task for a specific fee, which the client will pay. If the agreed-upon fee "feels fair" to both sides, then it doesn't matter what the billable hours would have been. Both parties have received the benefit of the bargain they negotiated, and both knew what they would pay and what would be received.

This kind of value billing is rarely done in divorce or family law matters because they are generally unpredictable-either the client, either lawyer, the family of either client or other "shadow advisors" can cause a divorce to go in any number of unexpected and time-consuming, directions. However, Hance Law Group, PC, is among a small number of progressive family lawyers around the country, offering value pricing where possible. It assures clients that the concerns most important to them will be protected without worrying about the time and costs involved, as with hourly billing.
