How much does IP Counsel cost to get started?

All services under our IP Counsel program are billed at $125 per hour, which is approximately 40-70% less than many other intellectual property lawyers and law firms would charge.  We bill for our time spent on your case and send you an invoice for time billed.  An upfront retainer fee of $1,000 is required (yes, we accept credit cards).  There are no hidden surprises and our retainer agreements spell out everything in advance.
