Flat fees allow you to know exactly how much to set aside for lawyer fees. Flat fees can range anywhere from $500 to $2,000, again depending on the task and place. Some flat-fee documents involve reviewing business contracts and forming a limited liability company (LLC).
Flat fee arrangements usually do not include fees for third parties. You must pay those costs separately. For instance, if you pay your lawyer to create an incorporation, you still owe the state fee.
