Legal help should not come with hidden costs or hourly surprises. Our fees are published openly so you can plan with confidence and choose the level of service that fits your matter.
Consultations are booked online and invoiced by email after you book. Hourly work is billed in 15-minute increments.
Entitled Family & Civil Law is built around a simple belief: that most family and civil matters are best resolved outside the courtroom, with skilled guidance, structured negotiation, and well-prepared documents.
Our fees reflect that philosophy. Flat-fee packages for mediation, negotiation and drafting give you cost certainty for the most common matters. Hourly representation is reserved for complex or contested cases where the path forward cannot be scoped in advance.
Many complex matters use a mix of the two: flat fees for the phases that can be defined, such as the initial filings or a negotiated settlement, and hourly billing at $250, in 15-minute increments, only for the contested pieces. The engagement letter states which parts are flat and which are hourly, so you know where the hourly exposure begins and ends.
Every engagement begins with a paid consultation, booked on the calendar: dedicated working time to review your situation, give you a candid assessment, and outline the most effective path forward. Both sessions are credited toward your matter if you engage within 30 days. Looking for document preparation without representation? That is handled by our sister company, Entitled Document Services, with its own simple request process.

In a mediation package the firm serves both parties as a neutral and does not represent either of them. The agreed documents are prepared at the parties' joint direction, and each party is encouraged to have them reviewed independently before signing.
When mediation is not viable, structured negotiation settles the disputed terms through direct communication with the other party or their counsel. Flat-fee, all-inclusive packages cover the negotiation, the agreement and decree, the filings, and follow-through, with Sammijo Johnson as your representative and not as a neutral.
