REASONABLE LEGAL FEES
It is important that a client be informed up front of the costs of litigation, or a transactional matter. At Esagoff Law Group, we bill primarily on a “flat-fee” basis, so that our clients can relax about their legal fees, not worry about runaway costs, and focus with us so that we may get to the finish line. Therefore, a client is always free to call us, email or text without watching the clock.
EFFICIENT & ECONOMICAL
We are acutely aware of the price sensitivity confronting most businesses and individuals when contemplating litigation and other legal matters. By running a mobile office with low overhead, Esagoff Law Group is able to keep legal costs down, by regularly offering reasonable, flat fees. There will be no billing for phone calls, texts, emails whether with clients or our adversaries.
24/7 RESPONSIVENESS
We strive to be responsive to our clients and adversaries, on a 24/7 basis. In this way, there is no undue delay in protracting a settlement, or even a litigation. We offer updates to our clients in “real time” so they are aware of the status of their case and do not get surprised by developments days, weeks or months later.
ON-THE-GO
The Esagoff Law Group is a mobile law practice. We meet our clients at our offices, or theirs, or at the local coffee shop.
