I work with start-ups, entrepreneurs, and small and medium-sized businesses across the country in a variety of industries.
I help them with all their daily legal needs. These include business creation, mergers and acquisitions, drafting and reviewing contracts, employment, sale and acquisition of assets, as well as sales of businesses or withdrawals of shareholders. I am half Australian, half Italian and have lived in America for the last 20+ years of my life. I`ve lived all over the United States, graduated from high school in the Deep South, graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, and then graduated from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school, I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left the company to become general counsel and vice president of an incredible industry-changing startup called Urban Mining Company (UMC), which makes rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law, where I lead our practice, which focuses on entrepreneurs, startups and SMEs.
I love what I do and I would like to help! My goal is to provide stress-free, enjoyable and high quality legal advice to all my clients. Being a good lawyer is not enough: the client experience must also be excellent. But work is not everything, and I like my free time. I have been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy when I was 9 months old. I`m also a music nut and I`m always looking for the perfect client to be explained why Dark Side Of The Moon is the best album ever. Growing up in a remote and beautiful corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature and love being in the elements. In the United States, typical attorney fees typically range from about $100 per hour to $400 per hour. These hourly rates will increase with experience and specialization in the area of practice.
Looking at the lawyer`s example mentioned above, that lawyer`s website does not indicate when the lawyer began practicing law. As I mentioned in another article, if the lawyer`s biography does not include the year in which the lawyer graduated from law school, it is likely that the lawyer has not practised for very long and is still learning the ropes. In this case, the attorney has been practicing since 2011 and has a total of 4 cases in Charleston County. Overall, this lawyer`s hourly rate of $300 per hour is outside the fee range charged by lawyers with similar backgrounds. Total legal fees vary considerably depending on the facts and the complexity of the case. How do you know how complex your question is? It`s hard to know, because even seemingly simple questions can have implications you may not be aware of. So, ultimately, you should ask a lawyer (or preferably more than one) to give you their assessment. Once a lawyer is hired, the cost of talking to them depends on the fee agreement. If a lawyer uses an hourly rate, the client will be charged for meetings, phone bookings, and returned emails.
If the lawyer works under a fixed fee arrangement, the client does not have to pay extra to speak to the lawyer. Attorneys` fees typically range from $100 to $300 per hour, depending on experience and specialization. Costs start at $100 per hour for new lawyers, but standard attorney fees for an experienced lawyer to handle a complex case can average $225 per hour or more. The average hourly rate for a lawyer is between $250 and $520.
