Hourly billing creates a perverse incentive: the longer the work takes, the more the attorney makes. It also creates uncertainty for you — you don't know the final cost until the bill arrives. Flat fees eliminate both problems. I've structured my practice so that the scope of work, the deliverables, and the price are defined before you sign. You make a business decision with complete information, just like you do with every other cost in your operation.
The flat-fee model works because I've invested in the technology and templates to deliver consistent, high-quality work product efficiently. That efficiency is reflected in the pricing — not passed on as extra hours.
Step 1: Free 15-minute consultation. We talk about your business, your contracts, and whether you actually need help. If you don't, I'll tell you. No charge, no obligation.
Step 2: Foundation Review ($2,495). You send me what you've got — subs, POs, change order forms, GC agreements. I review everything and deliver the Contract Health Report showing your risk profile clause by clause. We do a 30-minute call to walk through the findings.
Step 3: Builder's Bundle decision. If the Health Report shows your contracts need a rebuild — and in most cases it does — you decide whether to proceed. The $2,495 you already paid credits in full. Your remaining cost is $5,500 for a complete, NM-specific contract suite built from scratch for your trade.
Step 4: Annual Retainer (optional, $2,995/year). Once your contracts are right, the retainer keeps them right. NM law changes, your business grows, you take on bigger projects or new project types. The retainer ensures your documents evolve with you without a new flat-fee engagement every time something shifts.
Schedule a free 15-minute call. I'll tell you whether your contracts actually need work — and if they don't, I'll tell you that too.
Schedule Your Free ConsultationIf you start with the Foundation Review at $2,495 and later decide to upgrade to the Builder's Bundle, the full $2,495 is applied as a credit toward the $7,995 Builder's Bundle fee. Your remaining cost for the upgrade is $5,500. You never pay twice for the diagnostic work.
Then the Foundation Review is the only fee you'll pay, and you'll have a written Contract Health Report confirming your agreements are solid. That document has value — you can show it to project owners, bonding companies, and insurance carriers as evidence that your contracts have been professionally reviewed. In practice, I've never reviewed a contractor's agreements and found nothing to improve, but if yours are the exception, I'll tell you.
No. The flat fee covers the scope of work described regardless of complexity. A $50M highway project and a $500K residential remodel get the same thoroughness. The only scenario where additional fees might apply is if you need documents drafted for an unusual transaction type not covered by the standard scope — and I'll discuss that with you before any additional cost is incurred.
When a GC hands you their prime contract to sign, or a vendor sends you a purchase agreement, you can send it to me for review. I'll flag the problematic clauses and tell you what to push back on. Each review covers one agreement of up to 30 pages. This is one of the highest-value features of the retainer — it means you're never signing something blind again.
Foundation Review: full payment at engagement. Builder's Bundle: 50% at engagement, 50% on delivery (or pay in full at engagement for a 5% discount). Annual Retainer: billed annually in advance. All payments can be made by credit card, ACH, or check.
Foundation Review: delivered within 10 business days. Builder's Bundle: delivered within 15 business days from receipt of your existing contracts. Annual Retainer reviews: completed within 10 business days of your anniversary date.
