How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Probate Lawyer in NYC?

Because most New York City estate attorneys charge by the hour and take a percentage of the estate, the total cost for legal services depends on the complexity of the case and the size of the estate. The hourly charge varies. Albert Goodwin, Esq. bills at $400 per hour and/or takes a percentage of the estate which would depend on the size of the estate.

Attorneys with less experience in New York City estates might bill less per hour, but clients may end up paying them more when an inexperienced attorney charges tens of hours of billable time for “reinventing the wheel.” An experienced estate attorney will tell you if they have done your particular kind of case before and if they have templates that they can use to minimize your billable time.

From our first meeting, I knew I was in great hands with Albert and his associate Katrina. They handled my case with incredible skill and efficiency, even though they took it over from another firm. What impressed me most was how quickly Albert responded to my questions with honest, clear answers - no sugarcoating, just straight talk. They managed a huge workload under tight deadlines, and their fees were very reasonable for such high-quality work. Beyond his legal expertise, Albert's wit and personality made a difficult process much easier to handle. I'm deeply grateful for their hard work and would absolutely choose them again. If you need legal help in New York, you won't find better representation than Albert's firm.
