Please feel free to get in touch. I work on an hourly basis, but often these cases can be headed off without too much difficulty - depending, of course, upon the type of infringement alleged.

It is difficult to quote a rate without further information. I would need to review your material and the complainant's material as well as the claim. This review is generally done free of charge. If you decided to retain me thereafter, it would be on an hourly basis, but the goal would be to reach a resolution without resorting to the courts. Please feel free to contact me.

Like the other attorneys who have replied, I work on an hourly basis. Generally, an attorney will not quote a set fee until he or she has a chance to talk with you and review the complaining party's letter. In my experience, a copyright infringement matter often can be resolved once the parties exchange letters and engage in some negotiating by phone. However, everything depends on the specific facts of the situation. It is in your best interest to consult with an attorney at your earliest convenience, to identify any likely problems and resolve them before they become too expensive. Feel free to call if you would like to schedule a telephone or in-person consultation.
