Small businesses can be particularly vulnerable to a lawsuit.

The cost of defending a suit can break the back of a small business.  Yet, at the same time, no businessperson wants to be the victim of extortion by litigation.

The challenge small businesses face is getting a talented attorney who will be able to represent them well, but will also manage the cost of litigation effectively.

Task Based Billing

The Kaiser Law Firm PLLC is pleased to offer clients who are involved in a lawsuit the option of using task based billing.  Instead of paying an hourly rate, you pay by the task.  Moreover, you get to work with your lawyer to decide what tasks he should perform.

You Control the Costs

You’re a business person; you’re accustomed to making decisions about where money should be spent in your business.  Maybe there’s a motion in your case that could put you in a slightly better legal position, but it would cost money that you could use in other places in your business.  The best person to make the decision about whether to file that motion is you, once you know how it will affect your case.

In consultation with your lawyer, you make the decisions about what to do in the lawsuit; so you control the costs.  To be sure, some things will be unavoidable.  Some motions will have to be filed, and some depositions will have to be taken.  But you should be able to learn about much of what has to happen in your case, in advance, so that you can meaningfully predict the cost of litigation.

If you’re curious about task based billing, or about whether The Kaiser Law Firm PLLC is the best firm to represent you, please call us at (202) 640-2850.
