We will not charge a fee for the initial online meeting where both you and a bonolegal determine whether s/he can assist you. The meeting usually lasts for about 30 minutes, and the bonolegal will likely request the discussed materials for the assessment of the matter, developing a legal strategy, applying a pricing model, and drafting the service agreement.

Due to fixed decent service fees, bonolegals apply the contingency pricing model where there is a reasonably good chance that the court will adjudge an award or settlement to the client for his/her claims. The contingecy fee depends on the case strength and potential award: the higher the award the lesser the fee percentage will be offered. For example, if there is a reasonably good chance that the client will receive a $1M settlement, bonolegals will likely offer the minimal contingency fee of 10%.

In the matters where a proportionate сontingency pricing cannot be applied bonolegal will offer a fixed сontingency model. We will charge a pre-negotiated fixed amount only if our client prevails in the court. Unless the case is not ruled in your favor, bonolegal will charge nothing besides the standard decent bonolegal's fees.

These fees are set by statute or court, such as application fees, or a judge may assess a fee that you must pay. These fees may appear in probate, divorce or other proceedings, and they are independent from the bonolegal's fees. Depending on your financial status the court may waive or defer payment of court fees.

This standard fee is charged for drafting a procedural request. For example, it may be a motion for permission to participate in a court hearing by telephone or an administrative request for court permission to file another pleading. The maximum fee applies if a procedural pleading exceeds 4 pages (drafted with a standard double typeface) and so is a complex motion — for example, for granting a specific procedural right to you or, instead, to deny certain procedural right to the adverse party.

This standard fee is charged for drafting a substantive pleading. For example, it may be a civil complaint, divorce application, response to initial complaint or application, or application for an immigration benefit. The maximum fee applies if a substantive pleading exceeds 4 pages (drafted with a standard double typeface) and so is a complex request — for example, it can be a complex complaint, a long trial brief, a reasoned response to a motion, or a motion for final judgement or dismissal.

The fee is charged for each discovery request on behalf of a certain person. This may be a subpoena, an interrogatory, a request for production of documents by another party, organization or an agency, or a request for admission or deposition. This bonolegal's fee is independent from the court fees charged, for instance, for the issuance of a subpoena by a court clerk.

When you request us to send a hard copy of a document drafted by a bonolegal, we charge $30 or $40 for printing and mailing by USPS Priority Mail or USPS Restricted Delivery service. If you wish to include extra printed documents, such as appended affidavits or other attachments, this would add 50 cents per page. These fees are waived if you receive documents via email.

This bonolegal's fee is charged when the final judgment in your favor was delivered, but the adverse party is not willing to pay the awarded amount. In such a case bonolegals initiate enforcement and prepare a motion to hold the adverse party in contempt of court, supporting you in the enforcement proceeding.

If you have a case pending with us and wish to arrange an additional consultation — for example, to better understand legal fundamentals of your case, we will charge this fee for bonolegal advice by telephone or with the use of our secure meeting platform. This fee is charged for a 30-minute consultation.

Sometimes courts set for pre-trial conferences to mandate parties complete a specific task before the trial. During pre-trial sessions courts may issue orders requiring parties to hold an answer. If you are called for such a conference, a pre-trial consultation with a bonolegal will ensure that you will do right things and hold your answer properly. At this stage you may also discover that there can be a way to win the case without a trial.

After filing all pre-trial pleadings, your bonolegal will explain how the trial proceeding is structured and conducted. How to speak, what to say, what to expect from the trial judge and parties. This training-like consultation will help you succeed.

After the trial, your bonolegal will discuss with you how to receive property or amount awarded by the court, or if the result is different from the expected then how to ask the trial court to reconsider or correct its decision. Also, you may wish to appeal the trial decision, and bonolegal will advise on how this process can be initiated.
