Hourly Rates

Legal services will be performed upon a fixed fee basis, where available. If the amount of time or costs needed to accomplish legal services is unknown and does not allow for a fixed fee, the hourly rate is billed per our then current rates (see below) unless the client enters into a contract for either the General Counsel Program or the Project Attorney Program. Regardless, prior to Krentz Law commencing any work on behalf of any client, a written Retainer Agreement must be signed by both the client and Krentz Law’s managing lawyer – Kristopher J. Krentz.

Krentz Law strives to provide the most cost effective legal services available to each client’s matter and will inform clients of opportunities to save on costs (e.g. copy services, delivery services, etc.). We strongly urge clients to partner with us in the effort to reduce costs and remember that every dollar saved is a dollar to the client’s bottom line.

Clients are entitled to an "open door policy" whereupon any brief phone call made to Krentz Law that concludes a matter will not be billed to the client. Brief emails of a similar nature will also be free of charge. This feature is offered to you in an effort to create a bridge between the lawyer and client without the constant attention to financial concerns.
