Determining a legal strategy can be a complex process that requires careful consideration of several factors. At Williams & Ray, our process is to:
Understand the facts of the case: Gather all relevant information and documents related to your case, including any relevant contracts, emails, or other communications. Understand the key facts of the case, the legal issues involved, and any deadlines or statutes of limitations that may apply.
Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case: Identify the strengths and weaknesses of your case and consider how they may impact your legal strategy. For example, if you have strong evidence in your favor, you may want to consider pursuing a settlement or going to trial.

Identify potential outcomes: Identify the potential outcomes of your case and consider how they may impact your legal strategy. For example, if the outcome of your case may have a significant impact on your business or personal life, you may want to consider pursuing a settlement or going to trial.
Consider the costs: Consider the costs associated with different legal strategies, including attorney’s fees, court costs, and any other expenses. This will help you determine which strategy is most cost-effective for your specific case.
Communicate effectively: Discuss your legal strategy and explain the legal strategy to you in simple terms and answer your questions to grant you as much input and control as possible.
Determining a reasonable price for a lawyer can be difficult, as it can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of case, the lawyer’s experience and qualifications, and the location. However, here are some general guidelines to consider when determining a reasonable price for a lawyer:
Hourly rate: Many lawyers charge an hourly rate for their services. The hourly rate can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and qualifications, as well as the location. On average, the hourly rate for a lawyer can range from $250 to $350 per hour, or more.
Flat fee: Some lawyers may charge a flat fee for their services. This is a set fee that covers all legal services related to your case. The flat fee can vary depending on the type of case and the lawyer’s experience and qualifications.
Retainer: Some lawyers may require a retainer, which is a deposit that is paid up front. The retainer is used to cover the lawyer’s time and expenses. The amount of the retainer can vary depending on the type of case and the lawyer’s experience and qualifications.
Contingency fee: Some lawyers may charge a contingency fee, which is a percentage of any settlement or award that is received. This type of fee arrangement is most common in personal injury cases, where the lawyer takes on all the risk of the case and only gets paid if the case is won.
Ultimately, it is important to understand that the cost of a lawyer can vary widely and it is important to shop around and compare prices from different lawyers. It is also important to discuss the cost and fee arrangements with the lawyer upfront and to make sure that you understand the costs associated with your case.
