Clients do not benefit from expensive law firm space, big salaries for starting attorneys, the costs of training beginning attorneys or other contributors to high law firm overhead.  Because JLG avoids these costs, we can offer decades of proven experience at an hourly rate equivalent to what large Chicago law firms charge for fourth year associates, based on a National Law Journal survey.  That is value for the legal expense cost dollar.

In addition to hourly rates, we proactively work with clients to structure alternative fee arrangements that align our interests with those of the client.  Examples of alternative fee approaches include:

¨       Fixed fee

¨       Reduce hourly rates with discretionary or success bonus

¨       Contingent fee

¨       Declining hourly rate

¨       Shared savings from litigation management

Surveys show that most law firms remain wedded to the hourly rate, and that most clients would like to have other options.  The Jernberg Law Group will provide you options concerning fees, while delivering high quality, efficient services backed by long years of experience.
