Firm Overview

At Schecter Law, it is our primary goal to achieve excellent outcomes for our clients and to earn our clients’ confidence and respect, both in the short and long term so as to foster long term relationships.

We do take an entrepreneurial approach to accepting engagements and to setting attorneys fees.

Some cases are handled based strictly on an hourly rate. The rate is dependent on the complexity of the case, the experience of the attorney performing the services, the nature of the matter, etc. The time spent on a case handled on this basis is itemized to the client and the client pays for the time expended by the attorney.

Some cases, if requested by the client, may be performed on a fixed fee.

Some cases, such as those involving complex commercial litigation, may be handled on a contingency fee basis, which means the firm will receive a percentage of the amount actually recovered. The percentage will vary depending on the facts of a particular case.

Some cases will be handled in a hybrid manner. A hybrid manner means that a portion of the fee would be predicated on a contingent fee basis while the remainder of the fee will be based on a reduced hourly rate.

Out of pocket expenses such as filing fees, deposition costs, expert fees, etc. may be advanced by the attorney when appropriate, but all expenses are the ultimate responsibility of the client. The terms are spelled out in the attorney-client contract (the engagement letter) that both Schecter Law and the client will sign.

We at Schecter Law are proud that we have been recognized with the highest AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell. What makes this highest rating even more significant is that it is voted upon by our peers.
