The Only Family Law Firm in Colorado With a Monthly Billing ModeL
You Should Know What You’re Paying. Every Single Month.
Most people going through a divorce or custody matter are already dealing with enough uncertainty. Your legal bill shouldn’t add to it. At New Leaf Family, we use a monthly subscription model so you always know exactly what you’re paying before we take a single step forward.
WHAT IS THE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL?
Legal Fees Without the Guesswork.
At most law firms, the billing works like this: you hand over a large retainer upfront, then every month you get a bill that draws down against that retainer based on hours worked. When it runs out, they ask for more. Some months you might owe $2,000. The next month it’s $10,000. The month after that, $8,000. You never really know. And when you’re already navigating one of the hardest things you’ve ever been through, that kind of financial unpredictability can feel like its own crisis.
We don’t do it that way.
At New Leaf Family, your monthly rate is set from the very beginning. We assess your case complexity upfront and place you in one of four tiers. That number stays the same every month, whether it’s a busy month or a quiet one. Busy months don’t cost more. Slow months don’t cost less. You know the number, you can budget for it, and you can think long term about your investment in your case.
Control Over Your Case Starts With Control Over Your Costs.
You’re not watching the clock every time you pick up the phone. You’re not wondering whether asking one more question is going to cost you. You can use us as much or as little as you need, but you still have us. That peace of mind matters, especially when everything else feels unpredictable.
“Traditional hourly billing turns a client’s case into an open-ended financial crisis. At New Leaf, you know exactly what it’s going to cost each month. There are no surprises, and everything is predictable.”
HOW THE SUBSCRIPTION WORKS
Predictable Monthly Pricing – No Surprises,
No Stress..
Because your life is already changing fast, we don’t want to add to your financial uncertainty; we want to do what’s best for you. Here’s how our billing works differently from the standard family law model.
01
Start With a
Polaris™ Meeting
Every client begins with a Polaris™ strategy meeting. We discuss your goals, map out the likely timeline, and make sure you understand exactly what’s ahead before you commit to anything.
02
Get Placed in the
Right Tier
Based on your case complexity, we place you in one of four monthly billing tiers. You’ll know your rate before we take a single step forward.
03
Pay the Same Amount Every Month
Whether it’s a busy month with a lot of activity or a quieter stretch, your bill stays the same. You shouldn’t have to pay thousands of extra dollars just because the opposing party is filing motion after motion.
04
Stay Focused on
Your Goals
Because you’re not watching the meter run, we can focus on what actually matters: getting you to your goals as efficiently as possible.
