 Most Massachusetts family law practitioners, including me, charge for an initial consultation, but each lawyer may decide on a case-by-case basis as he or she wishes. [Just be sure to make it clear to the client before he or she comes in.] As for the divorce, some lawyers may charge a flat fee, but this is unusual because it is difficult to say with certainty what the total cost will be. We can discuss certain cost parameters and my hourly rate, but your spouse's behavior will have an impact on time and, therefore, cost.
