How this calculator works
Sums the five estimated phases, then adds the user-entered contingency reserve percentage. Estimates do not predict a case outcome.
Professional verification required. This is an informational worksheet, not a legal conclusion. Verify governing law, court rules, fee agreements, facts and any applicable exceptions before acting.
Questions attorneys ask
Are the amounts fixed legal fees?
No. These are customizable forecasts for internal matter budgeting.
Does it include court filing fees automatically?
No. Include anticipated filing, service, expert and vendor charges in the expense field.
