Helms & Greene Budgets

Budgets
Given the nature of our work, we are not always able to predict, with absolute precision, the likely cost associated with defending an action, handling a government investigation, or similar matters. Given our experience, we are able to construct litigation budgets based upon what we know similar projects have involved in the past. In handling lawsuits, we work from budgets and litigation plans where costs are estimated in advance to the maximum degree possible. These budgets are created in consultation with our clients and only modified with their approval. We are also receptive to performing work on a budgeted or project-fee basis. We believe it is reasonable for clients to expect some level of predictability when it comes to the expenditure of our time and their money.

We have built an organization on the philosophy that we handle conflicts efficiently at the least possible expense to the client. We demonstrate our commitment by working from budgets and regularly communicating with clients concerning their legal problem, the range of available solutions and the costs associated with those various courses of action. We are receptive to taking part of the risk associated with unanticipated complications or inefficiencies.
