Expert Fixed Fee Divorce
A divorce can bring some financial uncertainties. That is why having clarity on the costs might make it less complicated.
At Perduco Law, we have chosen a fixed fee pricing structure for divorce to help you understand the budget of your divorce case from the very beginning.
We believe that using our fixed fee pricing structure safeguards you from the mounting hourly fees that a traditional legal firm may surprise you with. Without compromising the professional support, legal advice and guidance you require.

Is it difficult to get divorce?
Divorce is no longer the challenging procedure that it was in the past. Although divorces are granted more readily today, the process can nevertheless become a time-consuming one.
A correct application requires a significant amount of paperwork and administration to assure its success, and the entire process can take 18 to 20 weeks to complete.
It is in our management of your divorce case that the full benefit of our fixed-fee system can be seen at its most effective. Despite the somewhat open-ended timeline of a typical divorce, the cost of your case will never exceed the budget you initially agreed upon.
Coupled with the peerless attention to detail, and the level of experience and expertise that we assign to every case, it is easy to see why we surpass our competitors when it comes to client satisfaction.
