Sacramento Law Group

Sacramento Divorce Lawyer

If you are facing divorce, effective and affordable legal representation can have a significant impact on child support, spousal support, custody, visitation, and property division. My name is Jin Kim, and I help clients pursue fair and efficient outcomes in the dissolution of their marriage. For some clients, that means aggressively defending against unreasonable child or spousal support demands. For others, that means pursuing support to maintain the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage. No matter your goals in divorce, effective and cost-effective legal representation will have a lasting impact on your financial well-being.

Some things that set me apart from other Sacramento divorce attorneys are my flat fees and affordable hourly rate. For simple uncontested divorces, I offer representation for a flat fee payable by credit card. However, if there is disagreement between the parties or litigation is required, I maintain my reputation as an affordable divorce attorney by offering representation for the mid-range rate of $400 per hour.  (Understandably, no one wants to pay an attorney $400 per hour, but after a few consultations, you’ll learn that my fees are among the most cost-effective in Sacramento). To learn more about my service and affordable fees, call me at (916) 250-1610 to schedule a consultation.

Sincerely,

Jin Kim

Affordable Fees

Nearly everyone facing divorce is concerned about the cost of hiring an attorney, and with good reason. Many local family law attorneys require expensive “evergreen” retainers and charge in minimum increments of .2 hours. With such unpredictable fees and the expense of maintaining an “evergreen” retainer, many clients cannot afford the total cost of divorce. To help the underserved middle class of Sacramento, I offer flat fees and conservative hourly billing.

My Flat Fee

For a relatively simple divorce (no kids, short marriage, few assets, few debts, no real estate, etc.) I may charge a flat fee of $4,500. (This is a sample fee, not a guarantee. In these cases, the parties are in agreement and will not contest the issues that must be addressed in divorce, such as alimony and division of community property. Many clients who qualify for a flat fee do so because they have little property to fight over and simply want to separate in a cost-effective and timely manner.  In light of how much local divorce attorneys charge, my flat fee option can save limited-scope clients thousands of dollars.

Affordable Hourly Rate

In most cases, there is some disagreement over one or more issues in divorce. For example, the spouses may disagree over the amount of child support or the amount and duration of spousal support. Likewise, the spouses may disagree over the division of community property, such as the family home. In these contested divorces, I charge a flat fee of $400 per hour. My goal in all hourly cases is to seek an expedient and cost-effective resolution to the contested issues, but how much contested divorces cost depends greatly upon the cooperation of the other spouse.
