The Prinz Law Office is pleased to announce the launch of a new subscription plan, which is intended to simplify the process of working with a lawyer for companies as well as individuals.  The firm’s subscription plans have been been designed to uniquely enable clients to hire and communicate with counsel without the fear or worry of an accruing billable hour.

Subscriber clients will pay a flat monthly rate each month with the option of purchasing add-on services at an additional flat fee rate that they can easily estimate in advance of making a work request.  Subscription prices will start at just $150 at the lowest bronze level.

To view the currently available subscription plans, please click here:  Prinz Law Office Subscription Plans.

The new subscriptions are available to clients immediately.

The Prinz Law Office is pleased to announce that we are adopting a number of new options for working with our clients. We received feedback asking for new fixed rate and subscription packages for specific business scenarios, and in response to that feedback we have designed a variety of new packages designed around those requests. Existing clients who are working with us already under another billing arrangement will be able to switch to a new plan at any time upon request.  The firm is confident that these new options will better address the current business needs of the technology and life sciences communities we serve.  For additional information about our various available alternative billing packages, please submit your request to kp****@pr************.com.

If you have other ideas for new billing arrangements, the firm always welcomes the feedback. All feedback should also be submitted to kp****@pr************.com.
