Mouw Law Pricing Philosophy
​ Accessible. Transparent. Anti-Hourly.
​
Traditional hourly billing rewards inefficiency and punishes clients for needing help. We don't practice that way.
Why?
​Because how quickly your retainer disappears shouldn't determine your attorney's interest in your case.
Because in too many firms, "using up the retainer" becomes a metric tied to bonuses, quotas, or internal pressure rather than a reflection of the work a client actually needs.
Because no one should have to wonder whether their lawyer's strategy is influenced by their billing cycle.
Because no one should have to choose between legal access and their rent, safety, or basic dignity.
​
​
You deserve advocacy that rewards honesty, preparation, and good communication; not padding, panic, or pressure. Our structure protects your finances and your nervous system, while letting us focus on what actually matters: resolving your case and restoring your peace.
​
​We offer three simple, transparent models that work with our Raven Community Fund:
1 | Flat Fee (No Surprises)
For specific services, like protection orders, uncontested matters, contract drafting, or small business documents. You know the cost up front.
​
No hidden fees. No billing traps.
Just clarity.
3 | Contingency Fee
For personal injury cases, you pay nothing up front. Mouw Law's fees and costs comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we don't recover for you, you don't owe attorney fees.
​
We then reinvest one-third of our own recovery from this fee model back into the Raven Community Fund.
2 | Monthly Subscription Plans
Predictable billing with on-going support.
Ideal for co-parenting, long-term disputes, or clients who need steady guidances without runaway costs.
Services come in three tiers based on levels of support needed and case type.
Sliding Scale Tiers
Mouw Law uses a sliding-scale system designed to reduce financial barriers and make legal help accessible. Instead of rigid formulas or invasive financial checks, we look at the whole picture using honesty and clarity, not judgment or gatekeeping.
If your tier still doesn't meet your needs, the Raven Community Fund may be able to bridge the gap.
