Small Firm Offers Pay-As-You-Go, A La Carte Legal Services
Paying an attorney on an a la carte basis, only for the specific legal services that you can afford, may not be ideal for a client.
But it’s better than going without representation altogether because you can’t afford standard legal fees of nearly $300 per hour, say two young lawyers who have established an unusual pay-as-you-go business model in Arizona.
At Tarascio & Del Vecchio in Mesa, clients don’t have to pay a retainer fee and are charged between $99 and $129 hourly for out-of-court services, the East Valley Tribune reports.
Billie Tarascio says she and her partner, Allyson Del Vecchio, are still figuring out how to make the new model work. But “we have no shortage of clients, so I guess that’s the best affirmation of what we’re doing. Our clients are grateful to have resources they didn’t have before.”
