A standard probate case in litigation will take between $80,000 and $175,000 of attorney fees on an hourly basis, and an additional $30,000 to $75,000 for costs. This is for an average probate attorney who does not specialize in the area.
Our firm specializes in the area of contested probate alone and does not take hourly probate cases. In a contingency agreement, the most common arrangement is for the attorney to receive 33 percent of the recovery if the case settles, or 40 percent if the case proceeds to trial. This allows us to do free consultations without a charge. Our office advances the costs and pays for everything until there is a recovery.
You do not need to pay us unless we win.
