Fixed price lawyers means one less thing to worry about

At Clean Break, we believe separation is uncertain enough — your legal costs shouldn’t be.

That’s why we use fixed fees for all of our core service packages. Whether you’re after light-touch support, full legal guidance, or something in between, our Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers give you clear options based on the type of service you need — not just how long it takes.

We want you to feel confident in the cost before anything begins — no hourly billing surprises, no hidden extras. In rare cases where fixed fees aren’t possible (usually for highly unpredictable matters), we’ll explain why and give you clear estimates and boundaries for hourly billing.

Our goal is simple: to give you choice and control — at every step of the process.

Different people have different needs

We offer a range of fixed-fee packages so you can choose the level of support that suits your situation and your budget. No guesswork, no hourly clock ticking in the background — just a clear price, agreed upfront.

Pick the package that fits. You’ll always know what you’re paying, what it covers, and when it’s due. If we ever need to work on an hourly basis, we’ll give you cost estimates and updates along the way.

You will always be in control — of the process and the price.

Each package includes a defined scope of work and fixed deliverables. What changes within each package is the complexity of your situation — things like asset structures, potential claims and legal risks. After a quick assessment, we’ll let you know which complexity level applies, and what the fixed fee will be for your chosen package.

Our Guarantee

You can be confident in your choice with our 30-day money back guarantee. If you aren’t happy in your first 30 days, tell us why. If we can’t fix it and you need to fire us, (provided we haven’t already signed your agreement) we will refund you everything you have paid. We will also point you in the direction of another good lawyer who might be a better match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because we know this is already a stressful time — and worrying about a rising legal bill shouldn’t be part of it.

Our fixed fees give you certainty. You’ll know what the service includes, how much it will cost, and what to expect — right from the start. No surprise invoices, no fear about how long each conversation is taking. It increases the trust you have in us, which enables us to do an even better job for you.

We do a lot of this work. We’ve seen hundreds of different separation scenarios, which means we’re able to scope cases with confidence. That lets us offer fixed fees that are fair to you and sustainable for us. That’s why we can offer fixed fees where many firms can’t.

In some cases — especially when things are unpredictable or unfolding in real time — we may need to use an hourly rate. But even then, we’ll give you clear estimates, explain what’s involved, and keep you in the loop as we go.

We believe good legal support should be clear, respectful, and cost-transparent — every step of the way.

We monitor complexity as your case progresses. If new issues arise — like a trust that wasn’t disclosed, or the other party stops engaging — we’ll talk with you about whether your package still fits. If needed, we’ll adjust the scope or suggest a shift to our hourly model — with your agreement, and always with cost transparency.

Yes — the fixed fee covers the full scope of work we’ve committed to, not just the time involved. Much of the value happens early: advising you on your rights, setting your strategy, drafting key documents, and managing legal risk so you’re protected no matter how things play out. If your matter settles quickly, that’s often a sign the upfront work was done well — not that less work was done overall.

That said, if your matter is clearly very simple, we may recommend a lighter service tier at a lower cost.

No. Each fixed-fee package includes a clear description of what’s covered — and what’s not — before you sign on. You’ll never get an invoice for “extras” you didn’t agree to. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll always check with you first.
