Business Purchase or Sale
The deal closes and the required legal documents are finalized. One flat fee, one timeline, one deliverable.
Our Approach
Listen first. Then advise.
Your first conversation is a free introduction with the attorney who will actually handle your matter, not an intake coordinator or a machine. One named attorney listens to your situation, builds a plan around it, and stays reachable until the work is done, all for a flat fee with no billable-hour surprises. You get a plan in plain language, and you stay informed and involved at every step.
How We're Different
Flat-Fee Based, Responsive, and Technology-Driven.
The billable-hour model rewards delay rather than results. It incentivizes inefficiency and leads to surprise invoices.
We built Costaras Law around the opposite: a firm that is responsive, efficient, and technology-driven, eliminating the billable-hour drag by using a predictable flat-fee model. This lets us offer clients unlimited revisions and fast, clear responses. We use modern tools to be more efficient because we're focused on serving you, not a ticking clock.
Our Flat-Fee Model
Clarity from day one.
We do not bill by the hour. Every engagement starts with a flat fee tied to clearly defined outcomes. Three examples of how that plays out:
Entity Formation
Entity formed, tax ID obtained, and (as needed) bank-account setup support and a partnership or operating agreement.
Documents
Drafting and review, with unlimited iterations until the deliverable is right. No change orders, no surprise extras.
The Process
What working with us looks like.
Three stages, no mystery. You always know where your matter stands and what happens next.
Free Introduction
You share your specific situation and we outline the potential strategies. No obligation, no sales pitch. You leave with a clear sense of your options, whether or not you hire us.
A Personalized Plan
Flat-fee proposal
Based on your unique needs, you receive a tailored legal plan with a flat-fee proposal and a defined scope. You see the price and the deliverables before any work begins.
Ongoing Support
For the life of your plan
The relationship doesn't end at signing. We stay available for the life of your plan: answering questions as your situation changes, updating documents as your family or business grows, and giving you a real person to call whenever you need one.
Our Principles
Four commitments we don't bend on.
These aren't taglines. They're the foundation upon which the firm is built.
Flat Fees
We do not bill by the hour. Nearly all of our work is handled on a flat-fee basis with clearly defined outcomes. No ticking clock, no surprise invoices.
Direct Access
One named attorney handles your matter start to finish. You call five lawyers, four never call back. With us, you reach the person actually doing the work.
Speed
We move at the pace your business and family need, and we reply quickly because our incentives are aligned with yours, not with a ticking clock.
Plain Language
Clear, supportive communication at every step. We translate the legalese so you can understand the documents you sign and how they protect you.
Using Technology to Better Serve You
Modern tools, human guidance.
You may wonder whether a firm can lean on technology and still give your matter the care it deserves. Here's our answer: technology helps us work faster and keep your costs down, but it never makes the decisions.
A licensed attorney reviews everything before it becomes part of your file. You get the efficiency of modern tools with the judgment, and the accountability, of a lawyer who has practiced for 15 years. The technology serves you; the attorney is responsible for you.
AI never touches your file on its own. Every recommendation is made by a person you can call, by name.

“Our incentives are aligned with yours: get the job done correctly and efficiently, with no surprise bills and no limit on the calls or revisions along the way.”
Common Questions
What to expect when you work with us.
We size the fee based on the deliverable: what we're producing, the complexity of your situation, and how many revisions we expect. Once the scope is set and signed, the price doesn't change. No mid-engagement "oh, that's extra."
It's a free introduction with no obligation and no sales pitch. You share your situation, we outline the potential strategies, and you leave with a clear sense of your options, whether or not you decide to hire us.
Quickly. We reply fast on calls, emails, and texts. Because we work on a flat fee instead of the clock, staying responsive costs us nothing and helps you keep moving.
Yes. We explain every recommendation in plain language and walk you through the why behind it. Clear, supportive communication is part of the work, not an afterthought, so you make decisions with real understanding.
Within the agreed scope, you get unlimited calls and revisions until the deliverable is right. If the scope itself changes, we'll quote the difference in writing before doing the work, so there are never surprise charges.
