If you're ready to file your contested divorce or custody case -- or the other party has filed -- I'm ready to help you.  The first step to hiring me is to book a conference where we'll map out your case strategy.

 

You can book that conference at the bottom of this page, but before you do that. . .

 

. . . let me first tell you how I work with clients. . .

 

. . . and how you will not have to pay a retainer or get billed by the hour.

Instead, I want to tell you about the Pay-As-You-Go Membership.

 

The Pay-As-You-Go Membership is the very SELECT GROUP of AWESOME clients that I have the privilege of representing in contested divorce and custody cases.

 

I use the word "SELECT" because I accept a limited number of clients into the Membership.  The work we do in the Membership is highly customized, and I make sure to keep space in my calendar to serve each client at the highest level.

 

And I say "AWESOME" because. . . well. . . I have awesome clients.

When you hire me by joining the Pay-As-You-Go Membership, you're hiring me to provide what we lawyers call "unbundled legal services."

 

Unbundled legal services is simply a way of hiring a lawyer where the client is not forced to buy "the whole bundle" at once.

 

Instead, when you hire me using the "unbundled" model, I will tell you step-by-step what needs to be done in your case and you can choose to either pay me to perform that task or handle it on your own with instructions that I provide to you.

Think of it like this -- the traditional model of legal representation involves paying a lawyer a large retainer, getting billed by the hour, and not knowing what you're getting or what it costs until after you've paid. . . 

 

. . . sort of like opening a restaurant menu and seeing that there are no prices listed next to the menu items.

 

Oh it gets better.  Under the traditional model, you're not selecting your own meal.  The chef will choose for you. . .

She will then prepare your meal, charge you by the hour, and send you an invoice periodically as you eat what is brought out for you.

 

Yes, you have to eat all of it. . . 

 

And you must pay the chef a retainer before she starts cooking.

Lawyers have used the "traditional" retainer-and-hourly model for decades.

 

I mean, like, it's really old. 

  

Many clients want an alternative to large retainers and hourly billing.

 

I created the Pay-As-You-Go Membership for them.

If retainers and hourly billing is like shoving down the whole menu in one meal. . .

 

. . . then the "unbundled" method is more like a la carte.

I'll tell you what you should order and when based on your circumstances.

 

You'll know in advance what you will pay for each item because the price is on the menu.

 

Hmmm. . . transparent pricing. . . the other chefs lawyers are definitely going to be mad at me.

 

I know.  You want to learn more.  So keep scrolling down.

 

Or maybe you're thinking "Janie, you had me at transparent pricing" and you're ready to talk.

So, yeah, I think the Pay-As-You-Go Membership is pretty awesome.  But don't take my word for it.  Check out what my clients have to say.

"I just want to send you a message giving you a sincere Thank You for all that you do. . .  You rock!" 

-Jamie

"Janie I just wanna say thank you so much.  I could not have gotten through this without you.  Your attention to detail, intuition, and legal advice are second to none.  Thank you so much!!" 

-Adam

"Thank you Janie. I appreciate your professionalism in your craft. . .
It was a pleasure to have met you and I am still very impressed with your program. If I have occasion to refer an attorney to anyone in the future I will not hesitate to refer them to you, in high regard."

-Deana

"The Membership videos are not only excellent, they're absolutely invaluable for anybody without a law degree. . . By taking away the confusion, your videos enable your clients to better understand the legal end of divorce and what they can expect when going to court. . . You going through each procedure, step by step, has helped me tremendously!  . . . I highly recommend both you and the videos to anyone contemplating divorce."

-Sigrid

"I've been celebrating since Thursday [day of final divorce hearing.]  Everything went great! It was quick and painless. Thank you SO much for everything. I truly appreciate your guidance and all of the content you created. It was super easy to follow and extremely helpful."

-Patricia

"Thank you so much for listening to me and doing everything you could to advocate for the kids and myself.  Today brought a great sense of relief.  I truly am thankful to you and honestly felt as though I was more than just a client to you.  Thank you again for helping me get through this very difficult time."

-Julie

"Thank you for all of your work with my case and the work that you put into the content available, it has been more helpful than I can express."

-Jason

”Thanks for everything.  You're great and we are so fortunate to have you as our attorney."

-Cindy

”Janie, I was so nervous walking into the courthouse today. When I said how happy I was you were there, it was an understatement.  Your organization and complete understanding of all the pieces of the puzzle provided not only a sense of relief but an appreciation.  I’m so happy you were recommended and I got to see first hand the reason why you were. You were absolutely incredible, quick on your feet and left me knowing I put my trust in the right person. "

-Melanie

Janie, u r the best! I am grateful for all you have done. You have navigated professionally  as well as with power and class thru this. . . You kept your cool and kept me in line that nothing has gone wrong.  I can never thank you enough for your patience. Forever grateful.

-Linda

"Everything is all finished.  Thank you again for your help.  Court was extremely easy because of how well you prepared me.”

-Tim

"Your course was very educational.  I had access to all the documents I needed in one convenient website.  . . You taught me to stand my ground and be my own boss. . . I already referred you to one of my friends.  Thanks again for the encouragement and guidance."

-Justin

"Thank you for representing me.  I really appreciate your support.  It was a pleasure to see you in action and getting things accomplished."

 

-Christy

"I have been meaning to email you just to thank you for everything... I really appreciate everything you did. I know it's your job, but I feel like you go above and beyond and I appreciate that."

 

-Julie

"I just want to say THANK YOU so much for the information and the way that you outline this process so that it is easy to understand. I don't know what I'd do without you."

 

-Harmony

"I am so grateful for your help, insight, advice, compassion, emotional intelligence, and the structure of your à la cart program.

 

I am quite convinced that I received better preparations, by far, than anyone else I saw in court, and it pained me to watch/listen as people tried to learn on-site and in the pressured context of court.

 

Yesterday went very smoothly. . . everything that you had prepared was precise and exactly what I needed."

 

-Dale

"I really don't think things would have gone this way, as I had always hoped they would, without your invaluable expertise and generous and wise guidance. You are a gift and a blessing and in this moment I am reminded again how very lucky I am to have met you."

 

-Mary

"Thank you very much for all you have done and continue to do for me.  You helped me through the most challenging event in my life thus far."

 

-Christy

"I am a 64 year old woman who was intimidated by the legal system and knew I needed help to proceed through my divorce. I found Janie online and became a Pay As You Go client and have never been happier. She has helped me through the entire process. Her videos are detailed, easy to follow and guided me through all the "legalese"  with the documents needed, the court process and the e-filing process. Her quick response to emails and weekly open office hours made me feel that I had easy, consistent and caring access to my legal team. I would highly recommend Janie to anyone, she's totally in your corner."
