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 kprinz@prinzlawoffice.com.

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