Divorce Proceedings with a Family Lawyer.

In your initial consultation with a divorce lawyer your job is to gather information while discussing your situation with the attorney.  The divorce process may be halted at any time, so you are not bound by the initial meeting.  It is good to know that if you are contemplating a divorce, Ruggiero and Associates charges a reduced rate of just $225 for that nearly 1-hour consultation.  At the conclusion you may not decide to proceed with your divorce, or you may even move forward with different counsel, but your time with Mr. Ruggiero will be learning-full and well worth your time and money.

If you do decide to proceed with Attorney Vincent Ruggiero, a retainer is typically paid at that time, or shortly thereafter.  The agreement should allow either party to discontinue the relationship at any time.   The retainer remains the client's money even after it is initially tendered to the attorney and is kept in a segregated client trust fund until such time as those fees are earned by the actual services provided by the attorney. 

Hourly rates differ among divorce attorneys, and even between attorneys in the same firm. Rates obviously differ due to the skill and experience of the attorney. Mr. Ruggiero's hourly rate for both office and court time is $330.00.  To find a list of what functions are included in Attorney Vincent Ruggiero’s hourly rate, go to his website at www.ruggierofamilylaw.com.  For any family law matters in Cook, Kane, DuPage, or Will counties call today at (630) 654-0044.

  1. I switched to Karen L Haga and Associates from another attorney. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. These divorce lawyers are amazing, kept me in the loop the entire time, and got me the results I wanted. Thank you!
