FAQs

Q: How do you handle billing?

We bill on a monthly basis for the work performed in the prior month. At the conclusion of our first meeting or at any other time, we can sit down with you to go over billing options and answer your questions if you so choose.

Q: What about your fees?

Transparency and easy billing are central to the firm’s core values. We believe in collaborative and trusting relationships. We know that clocking every minute of an attorney’s time can make fees unpredictable. Each client works with a budget, and setting aside funds for unknown costs can be a challenge. Our experience shows that discussing legal costs upfront helps with our clients’ peace of mind. For this reason, we are open to discussing pricing upfront. For certain document preparation, we can offer you flat fee packages, which means that you pay a fixed amount. A flat fee arrangements allows us to build a true partnership with you founded on efficiency, predictability, and peace of mind. Some matters require Ms. Petrova’s engagement on an hourly basis, and she gladly will discuss this with you in your initial meeting. You can find out more in the Fees and Costs section.

Q: What about standardized online forms and services like Legal Zoom, Bizfilings, Rocket Lawyer, or Doc Stoc?

Standardized “fill-in-the-blank” forms are, by definition, standardized. They are not customized to fit individual circumstances, leaving potential gaps in documents and creating a false sense of protection for their users. The benefit of hiring an experienced lawyer is that you can rely on a trusted advisor who will help you think strategically through key legal issues. We take pride in providing small business owners and individuals with comprehensive legal services in a cost effective manner.

Q: How will you let me know the status of my legal matter?

The cornerstone of the firm is personal attention. Communication is integral to our approach. To keep you up to date on ongoing matters, we include detailed descriptions in billing statements. Scheduled meetings include time set aside for you to ask legal questions. We suggest you keep notes as you think of points on which you need clarification. For your convenience, notepads are always available at our office. You are also welcome to call us for a complementary status update.

Q: Why should I engage Petrova Law for my tax needs?

Most actions in life and business are accompanied by tax consequences. Tax is a complex field, which requires thorough understanding of our Internal Revenue Code and tax laws. We remind our clients that the U.S. government at the federal and state levels takes tax matters with individuals and businesses with significant gravity. If you are in business, you need a tax lawyer to resolve serious tax issues and advise you on structuring transactions from a tax perspective. If you have received an IRS notice indicating you have a tax problem, a tax lawyer can take action on your behalf. If you operate a nonprofit, a tax lawyer can assist you with obtaining tax exempt status and remaining compliant. Ms. Petrova applies her experience and advanced tax training to handle a variety of tax problems and assists with proactive transaction planning. To learn more, visit Allie’s attorney profile .
