Family Law & Divorce Attorneys in Dunedin, FL
Personal Consultation to Evaluate Your Case
It can be very difficult to find an affordable family law attorney to handle your divorce or paternity matter. This is because most family law firms charge a high initial non-refundable retainer and even filing fees. Once hired, the family lawyer will bill you hourly. Family lawyer billing ranges from about $270/hour to $350/hour for attorney services. Each month, the family law attorney will send you a bill showing what you paid for, how much of your retainer has been spent, and how much you have remaining. Average total costs for divorce lawyers range from $11,000- to 14,000. But with Hendry & Parker, the average client spends less than $6,000 for their divorce or child custody matter.
