Pattern Law was founded on accessibility. For us, that means more than an open door. It means physical spaces people can reach, clear language people can understand, and dedicated professionals who translate legalese into plain terms. It also means financial accessibility, which is why services at Pattern Law are offered on a sliding scale.
What Are Sliding Scale Legal Services?
Sliding scale legal services are priced according to what a client can reasonably afford. At Pattern Law, we have a standard rate, and we talk through costs and the possibility of lower fees with each client individually. Our fees range from our standard rate to zero, depending on your circumstances.
How Paying Full Price Helps Others Get Affordable Legal Help
Our model works as a community. When clients with the financial means pay full price, Pattern Law can take on more people who can pay little to nothing for their legal needs. Your fee directly supports access to representation for someone who might otherwise go without.
Don't Assume You Can't Afford a Lawyer
Pattern Law is deeply committed to staying close with our community, and we know that many people don't have the financial means to hire an attorney. Others assume affordable legal representation isn't available to them and never ask. We want you to try. Give us a call, and we'll work with you to find the help or resources that fit your situation, even if that means connecting you with support beyond our own services.
An Empowerment-Based Approach to Legal Representation
Sliding scale pricing also supports how we work. We use an empowerment-based model: our job is to use our specialized skills and knowledge to help you get where you're trying to go. Because fees are discussed openly from the start, you're engaged in the conversation from the beginning. That helps us make sure our representation works for you, that you understand what we can do, and that we're both on the same page about your goals.
Why Every Service at Pattern Law Is Sliding Scale
Accessibility, community, and empowerment are the principles behind why Pattern Law exists. Offering all of our legal services on a sliding scale is one of the clearest ways we put those principles into practice.
