Q: HOW DO I FIND A ZONING LAWYER THAT DOES NOT CHARGE ON AN HOURLY BASIS???
THIS IS FOR A PRINCETON, N.J. ZONING ISSUE
A: You can use a search of attorneys in NJ for an attorney who will do it for a flat fee, but I would be surprised if anyone with a significant level of experience will do so, unless it is a very simple matter. Good luck.
A:
And keep in mind that, because each case is different, and it is impossible to know from the start how much time and effort will be entailed, attorneys usually charge by the hour. If you insist on a set fee, the attorney you ask will likely quote you a fee calculated by multiplying the standard hourly rate by the maximum possible amount of attorney time which can reasonably be anticipated.
Thus, by insisting on a lump-sum fee, you are likely to spend more.
