Let’s face it, attorneys are expensive.
However, here at the Harton Law Firm, we try to make our fees predictable. We also try to provide affordable options. That is why we offer fixed fees for many legal services. We also offer unbundled services for folks who want to do most of the work themselves, but just need a little help.
