How We Work
A Different Model, Designed for Clients
The Problem with Traditional Billing
- Large retainers of $5,000–$10,000+ paid upfront
- Hourly billing where every call, email, or review is tracked
- Invoices that arrive unexpectedly in significant amounts
- Difficulty knowing what the total cost of a case will be
- Reluctance to communicate for fear of being billed
- Misaligned incentives between lawyer and client
The Rehn Law Approach
- Ongoing legal representation through a structured monthly model
- Clear, fixed pricing for major steps
- A deliberate, staged approach to moving your matter forward
- Communication without worrying about the next invoice
- A process aligned with your goal: resolution
A structured process. Your case is guided through a defined process:
Initial Consultation
A free 30-minute meeting to understand your situation and determine whether we are a good fit.
Onboarding & Case Organization
We review your matter in detail, provide initial advice, and prepare the foundation for your case.
Ongoing Representation
Your case is actively managed month-to-month, with regular communication and steady progression.
Resolution
Through negotiation, conference, or structured judicial process - with clear guidance at every stage.
