Montebello Family Law Attorney
Our Rates
Attorney's fees are always negotiable and the Law Offices of Beatriz
Pelayo-Garcia prides itself on offering community attorney rates of $350
to $650 per hour, depending on the complexity of the case. Your case will
require an original retainer which will vary from $3,000 to $5,000. While
no attorney can estimate of the total amount of attorney fees since it
often depends on the actions of the other party, the attorney and client
will regularly meet to determine the most cost-effective and necessary
services. The Law Firm of Beatriz A. Pelayo Garcia performs its legal
services while being cognizant of the client's financial situation.
Court Costs
In order to initiate a divorce, legal separation, annulment or paternity
case, the Los Angeles Superior Court requires a fee of between $435.00
to $535.00 per party.
For a court hearing for temporary orders including child custody, child
support or spousal support, attorney's fees or any other issues, the
Court requires a fee of about $40.00 in Los Angeles County. In certain
circumstances when a party is considered "low income", the court
can waive these initial costs. However, the majority of individuals are
expected to pay their own court costs.
Confidential Consultation
During this valuable and important conversation with the attorney, you
will be able to discuss your questions and concerns. If you are in the
process of a divorce or other family law matter, please bring all your
court documents with you to maximize the benefit of this experience. At
this point, both the attorney and the potential client will be able to
determine if they are a good fit to work together.
