At Barrix Law Firm, we believe in providing transparent, predictable, and fair legal fees. That’s why we use value billing, a flat-fee structure that benefits you, the client, in several important ways. Instead of billing by the hour—where costs can spiral unpredictably—value billing allows you to know exactly what your legal fees will be upfront, giving you financial certainty and peace of mind.
Financial Predictability & Budgeting Certainty
One of the biggest advantages of value billing is that you know exactly what your legal fees will be from the outset.
No Surprise Bills: Unlike hourly billing, where you may receive unexpected invoices for every phone call, email, or court appearance, a flat fee means no surprises.
- Plan Your Finances: Since the fee is set in advance, you can budget accordingly, avoiding financial stress during an already difficult time.
No Running Clock: Clients often worry about being charged for every conversation, question, or update. With value billing, you can communicate freely with your lawyer without fear of extra charges.
More Focus on Your Case, Not the Clock
Hourly billing forces attorneys to track every minute, adding administrative burdens that take time away from actual legal work.
Your Attorney is Focused on Your Case, Not a Timer: With value billing, we spend more time strategizing, negotiating, and advocating for your best interests, rather than micromanaging billable hours.
Faster & More Efficient Legal Work: Since we don’t need to log every six-minute increment, we can move your case forward more efficiently, leading to a more streamlined and results-driven approach.
More Meaningful Client Interaction: Because we aren’t charging by the hour, we welcome communication and encourage strategic discussions—without you worrying about extra costs.
No Refund Policy – Fees are Fully Earned Upon Payment
Because value billing provides immediate access to legal expertise, strategic planning, and case preparation, all fees are fully earned upon payment and are non-refundable, regardless of case outcome or early termination of services.
Unlike hourly billing, where clients pay only for time spent, value billing compensates the firm for the immediate value provided, including the allocation of resources, legal strategy development, and case preparation. Even if the client chooses to discontinue representation early, the firm has already invested time, expertise, and resources that cannot be undone. For this reason, no portion of the fee will be refunded if the attorney is discharged before the conclusion of the case.
Potential Cost Savings for the Client
While some cases may resolve faster than expected, others may take longer. However, you will never pay more just because your case requires extra work.
If Your Case Takes Longer Than Expected: You still only pay the agreed-upon fee—even if we invest significantly more time than anticipated. The risk of extended work is on us, not you.
If Your Case Resolves Quickly: You still receive the full benefit of expert representation without paying for unnecessary billable hours.
No Billing for Every Small Task: Many attorneys using hourly billing will charge for minor tasks such as quick emails, short phone calls, and brief legal research. With value billing, these are all included in your flat fee.
Experienced, Results-Driven Representation
We don’t believe in charging for time spent—we charge for experience, strategy, and results.
You Are Paying for Skill, Not Just Time: You benefit from the years of knowledge, legal expertise, and relationships with courts and prosecutors that we bring to your case.
Better Negotiation & Advocacy: We can prioritize your best legal outcome, rather than prolonging work to increase billable hours.
Less Administrative Costs = More Time for Your Case: Instead of spending time on billing paperwork, we dedicate our time to defending your case effectively.
Peace of Mind & Trust in Your Attorney
Legal matters are stressful enough. The last thing you need is uncertainty about legal costs.
Transparent Pricing: You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying.
Confidence in Your Legal Team: With value billing, you can trust that your lawyer’s incentives are aligned with your success, not the clock.
No Incentive to Drag Out the Case: Since we don’t bill hourly, we have no reason to prolong your case unnecessarily—instead, we focus on achieving the best possible resolution as efficiently as possible.
Why Clients Prefer Value Billing
Hourly billing benefits the law firm. Value billing benefits you—giving you predictable costs, high-quality representation, and a legal team that’s focused on winning your case, not increasing their billable hours.
