Vita Bona is Latin for “Good Life.” At Vita Bona Legal Services, our goal is to help you build and protect a good life for yourself and your family. We want to help you start and grow your business, protect your assets and agency in life and death, and help reduce your stress in the toughest times of life. In addition to estate planning, probate, and business law/trademarks, we also offer services such as reviewing and negotiating real estate contracts, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, rental leases, etc. We will take the time to get to know you and your needs and will help you achieve the best results for you in whatever matter you bring to us.
Most attorneys use an hourly rate structure, and the rate runs anywhere from a few hundred dollars per hour to over a thousand dollars per hour. At Vita Bona, we believe that hourly rate structures create a perverse incentive for attorneys to drag their feet and create more billable hours. We don’t find that ethos to be fitting with our desire to protect your assets and build your good life. Therefore, we have embraced a flat fee model. When you speak to us for an initial assessment, there will be a small charge for the assessment, but the charge will go toward the total price of any services you decide to purchase. The fee we quote you will be the fee for that service; there will not be additions for extra hours. This will incentivize us to be efficient, and it will give you a proper expectation of what the service will cost.
