Business Counsel fee schedule
Plan your budget before the conversation. These planning fees describe bounded work; Matt must confirm eligibility, scope, availability and engagement terms before accepting a matter.
| Plan | Monthly planning fee | Included attorney time |
|---|---|---|
Business Counsel Starter | $500/month | Up to 1.5 total attorney hours/month |
Business Counsel Core | $1,000/month | Up to 3.5 total attorney hours/month |
Business Counsel Plus | $2,500/month | Up to 9 total attorney hours/month |
Included time covers all agreed routine business work, including preparation, reading and communications. These are total monthly hours, rather than meeting time alone.
Final scope and any additional expenses are agreed in writing. Page limits include exhibits. No additional work or subscription starts automatically. Monthly plans exclude litigation, closings and separately scoped specialty work; renewal, unused hours, cancellation and refund terms must be agreed before enrollment.
You can start a service request online. Matt must confirm eligibility, scope, availability and engagement before any payment instructions. The request form collects no payment and no retainer or trust deposit. Arrange services directly with Matt. Published October 8, 2026; online service requests added October 18, 2026. An agreed engagement and appropriate payment instructions come before paid work. Viewing prices does not create an attorney-client relationship or reserve capacity.
Discuss scope and availability with MattSee all service feesStart with the priorities. Then choose the scope.
A monthly relationship should fit the work your business actually needs. Prepare a short priority list before deciding whether ongoing counsel or a single project makes sense.
1. Identify the work
List the routine agreements, business questions and upcoming decisions you want to discuss. Note deadlines and documents without sending confidential details through public chat.
2. Discuss fit with Matt
Ask about eligibility, conflicts, available capacity, who may request work and communication expectations. A plan price does not establish that a matter has been accepted.
3. Agree in writing
Confirm included work, exclusions, additional expenses and the treatment of unused time, renewal, cancellation and refunds before enrollment. Additional work requires advance authorization.
Common questions
Would a single project be a better fit?
If you need one agreement reviewed or a defined task completed, compare the individual service fees and discuss that scope with Matt. You do not need to choose a monthly plan to begin a fit conversation.
What counts toward the included time?
The published monthly allowance is total attorney time for agreed routine work. Reading, preparation and communications count alongside discussions. Confirm how time will be tracked and communicated before enrolling.
What if the work is urgent, complex or exceeds the plan?
Discuss the deadline and required scope directly with Matt. Litigation, closings and specialty work are separately scoped. Additional agreed work is listed at $300/hour, but no automatic hourly conversion or paid overage is authorized.
How do I arrange ongoing counsel?
Call Matt to discuss fit, conflicts, capacity, scope and the written engagement. Confirm payment arrangements and the appropriate confidential sharing process directly. Website use does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Agree on the work before it begins
Discuss the work you need, who may request it, communication expectations and any additional expenses. Agree on renewal, unused time, cancellation and refund terms before enrolling. Published prices do not activate enrollment or reserve attorney capacity.
