Payment Options

At Prepared Legal, we believe in transparent pricing to ensure our clients understand the costs associated with our services. Our payment processing fee is straightforward:

Fee Paid at the Appointment:
Fees are paid at the appointment. You have the flexibility to choose between paying by credit card or providing alternative means of payment. We prefer Venmo, Zelle, and AppleCash for their convenience and ease of use.

Payment Options:
We value prompt payments and offer cash discounts to our clients. When you choose to pay with cash, you can enjoy reduced fees. We value prompt payments and offer cash discounts to our clients. When you choose to pay with cash, Venmo, Zelle, AppleCash, or other same-as-cash options, you can enjoy reduced fees. For the convenience of accepting debit/credit card payments, we utilize Square Point-of-Sale service. Please note that there is a 3% service convenience fee associated with card payments. However, clients who opt to pay with cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, or any other same-as-cash options, receive the cash discount and are exempt from this fee.

Payment Installments:
Installment payments are available to ensure access to affordable legal services. There are no interest or fees assessed for installment plans. Please note that all payment plans are subject to approval

Installment Plans:
Installment plans are typically scheduled as the case progresses. For example: In divorce cases where our office prepared the documents throughout the entire process, the installment plan is tailored to match the milestones of your case. The process typically begins with the preparation of the initial documents (Step 1) upon payment of the 1st installment. As your case progresses, subsequent installments are scheduled to coincide with key stages, ensuring a smooth and manageable payment structure. Payment in full is due in advance of drafting the final set of documents e.g. Judgment (Step 4). 

Plan Adjustments:
Payment schedules are according to the client's ability to pay. If more time is needed to pay, the file can be placed on hold until the next scheduled installment can be made.

Our goal to bridge the access to justice gap and minimize the financial barriers associated with legal proceedings while providing clients with the support and flexibility you need throughout the legal process, offering personalized payment options that align with their individual circumstances and the progression of your case.

Appointment Cancellation Policy

We value your time and also respect the schedule of our professionals. To ensure that we can provide timely services to all our clients, we kindly request you to adhere to our cancellation policy.

Cancellations:
If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so as soon as possible. Time is of the essence.
A cancellation fee of $50.00 will be applied if the cancellation notice is given too late.
To cancel your appointment, please contact us through any of our provided communication channels.

No Show Policy:
We bill for "No Shows" to ensure that our resources are utilized efficiently and to honor the time of our professionals and other clients. Each appointment slot is specifically reserved for a client. Failure to attend an appointment without prior notice prevents us from allocating this slot to someone else in need.
The "No Show" fee covers the costs associated with the unused time and supports the maintenance of high-quality services for all our clients.

Unforeseen Circumstances:
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. If you find yourself unable to make your scheduled appointment, we encourage you to contact us in advance. This allows us to adjust our schedules and potentially allocate your slot to another client.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us serve you and our community better.

​Thank you for choosing us and for your commitment to our mutual respect and efficiency policy. ​
