The Prinz Law Office has revamped its standard billing options for 2020 and dramatically increased the number of fixed rate options available for clients in 2020.  Starting on January 1st, 2020, clients will have the opportunity to elect as many as five different levels of standard fixed fee options for many routinely requested services, which will enable entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses with limited budgets to better choose a fixed fee plan that meets their needs.

The new fixed rate options will significantly expand the firm’s existing alternative billing arrangements.  The firm announced in early 2019 the launch of a new subscription and fixed hour billing program, which will continue to be offered in 2020.  For more information about the firm’s billing options, please contact us.
