Our fee structure

Dodd & Burnham operates on four fee types—

• Personal injury and wrongful death payment structure.  We charge for all personal injury and wrongful death claims are charged on a contingency fee—also known as a percentage fee—basis.  This means you pay nothing until you recover damages for your injury.  Your interests and ours are perfectly aligned.
• Criminal law payment structure.  For the majority of criminal cases at Dodd & Burnham, we require a flat fee where payment is due at the start of your claim.  Complex felony or misdemeanor charges have higher fees than simple charges.
• Domestic relations payment structure.  Domestic relations cases incur an hourly fee.  Clients must pay a retainer fee at the start of your case.
• Unusual case payment structure.  Dodd & Burnham tailors flexible fee arrangements for cases that do not fall into our main areas of practice.  Your exact cost will depend on the complexity of your legal matter.

Discreet, confidential service

While our record of success is undeniably impressive, the attorneys at Dodd & Burnham do not publish settlements or verdicts.  We offer confidential services to all our clients and do not release your name, settlement, verdict, or other sensitive information to outside parties.
