FEES The Gordon Law Firm, P.C. Stephen H. Gordon - Attorney at Law San Antonio, Texas 78201

We try to set our fees at a reasonable level to make them affordable to the average person. Even so, we realize that people typically don't have enough money set aside to pay off an entire case at one time. Therefore, we offer flexible payment plans, and try to adapt them to your needs. We accept cash, money orders and checks. In addition, we take VISA, MASTERCARD, and DISCOVER, and if you use them you don't even have to come into the office to make a payment.

All fees quoted below are estimates. They do not include court costs, filing fees, fines, or other related legal expenses. These fees are subject to change without any advance notice. Attorney reserves the right to make changes to fees depending on the specific nature of the case involved, and its complexity. Only when attorney and client enter into a written contract agreement will attorney be bound by any particular fee estimate. This information is only intended to be a general guide, and not to be relied on by any specific member of the public.
