Extra case/cost?

I consulted Mr. Rea for a legal review of an uncontested divorce. Mr. Rea stated that it would basically always be contested and the cost to review the paperwork alone would be about 4 hours of time at $225 per hour if he was not hired. To hire him would be $2500 for retainer and hourly, again to rev...iew uncontested paperwork. There are no children, joint homes, accounts, etc. just an uncontested divorce.

Mike. I am sorry you are unhappy with the terms of engagement which I always explain in the complimentary consultation. Even though we discussed your case, I will never comment on the substance of your matter as I am committed to complete confidentiality. I take pro bono cases from Legal Services of Eastern Missouri and Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, Inc. in southwestern Illinois. If you call my office to discuss your complaint I could also give you those numbers.

Gordon makes (hard) family law easy

Gordon gave me guidance on marriage dissolution via mediation that was more cost effective and less of a chore than the traditional path. Gordon was prompt and detailed in our meetings, and charged a very reasonable fee. If you find yourself in an uncontested divorce scenario, Gordan can point you ...in the direction of the path of least resistance.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
