Fees
Pax Law Corporation offers many services at a clear flat fee. The prices below are the starting fees in our current retainer agreements. The retainer agreement for your service is the final word on what is included, taxes, government fees and payment plans.
Family size
For most immigration services the fee rises with the number of applicants.
Rush
Rush service is available for many services at a higher fee, set before you sign.
Payment plans
Instalments are available for selected services.
Non-routine files
A flat fee covers routine work. If a file becomes non-routine and needs extra work, in the judgment of the lawyer or staff member handling it, additional fees may be required even under a flat-fee retainer. We will tell you in writing before significant extra work is done.
