Need Help? We’ve Got You.
The typical lawyer in New York charges between $300 and $800 per hour. The average hourly rate for business law consultation is $341. The average hourly rate for practicing taxation consultation is $410, with some charging $500.
Instead of charging our clients hourly rates and providing consultation on limited areas, Good Counsel is committed to affordable, flexible and comprehensive services.
Good Counsel strives to give you options, so we have mapped-out potential membership packages and pay-per-project services.
In addition to our interns, we work with a team of experts to skillfully handle legal, marketing, and financial resource development matters.
That being said, all of that law stuff can feel overwhelming to a non-lawyer. Let us break it down:
Membership Programs
Sign up for one of our three holistic membership tiers. Each plan includes unconditional access to nonprofit-focused workshops, webinars and white papers. They include varying levels of GCS involvement.
This is a possible pricing option for our clients. Good Counsel is committed to flexibility and will work with organizations to best offer our support.
Please contact us if you would like to tailor our role more specifically to your organization.
