Packages

Almost every law firm or business attorney Tulsa is the same (or very similar) in its billing practices. There is usually a hefty upfront retainer required before the attorneys will lift a finger, followed by an even “heftier” hourly rate. This is not the best use of your business’s hard-earned money. That’s why RC Law Group is different.

Here are three service packages designed to meet your business’s legal needs.

The Basic Package

This is RC Law Group’s most affordable option for a small business needing legal services. The Basic Package offers the following services to a small business:

  • Two (2) hours of talk time directly with Attorney Ryan Childress per month
  • Unlimited e-mails and text messages with business attorney Tulsa Ryan Childress
  • A one-time site visit by Attorney Ryan Childress to the business to assess any legal needs

 

This package is a convenience package for a business needing an attorney to bounce off ideas related to a broad array of potential legal issues.

The Advanced Package

The Advanced Package provides businesses with all the benefits of the Basic Package with some noticeably beneficial additions. The Advanced Package provides a business with the following business attorney Tulsa legal services:

  • Three (3) hours of talk time directly with Attorney Ryan Childress per month
  • Unlimited e-mails and text messages with Attorney Ryan Childress per month
  • A one-time site visit by Attorney Ryan Childress to the business to assess any legal needs
  • Unlimited review of any document under 100 pages by Attorney Ryan Childress
  • Drafting of a Policies & Procedures Manual with signed acknowledgment form by all employees (if the company already has a policy and procedures manual, then it will be reviewed and a signed acknowledgement form added if one does not exist)

 

This package offers more time with Attorney Ryan Childress, the added benefit of document review, and the drafting of a Policies and Procedures Manual.

Document review by Attorney Ryan Childress is a considerable upgrade from the Basic Package. If your business has threatening letters coming from competitors or debt collectors, Attorney Ryan Childress can review those documents and provide you strategies for how to respond. If there is any document of any kind (legal or otherwise), business attorney Tulsa Ryan Childress will review it as part of this package assuming it does not exceed 100 pages. If the document exceeds 100 pages, Attorney Ryan Childress will confer with the business owner to arrange appropriate compensation.

Perhaps the greatest added benefit is the drafting of a Policies and Procedures Manual with a signed acknowledgment form by all employees. Most big corporations have an employee acknowledgment form that they require the new employees to sign prior to starting employment. Having a business attorney Tulsa write a clearly written Policies and Procedures Manual coupled with an employee acknowledgment form can provide numerous benefits for a company. First, such a manual provides concrete criteria for unacceptable behavior. An employee should not be surprised if he or she is fired. A well-written manual can help clarify to employees what is and, more importantly, what is not acceptable. Secondly, a manual can help provide additional protection in a wrongful termination lawsuit. This is just one more layer of protection for you if an upset employee decides to file suit which any business attorney Tulsa will tell you that this will help keep you out of litigation. A signed acknowledgment form becomes a litigation exhibit that can be shown to the judge and jury showing that the employee was aware of the contents of the Policies and Procedures Manual, yet voluntarily deviated from those requirements. This exhibit weakens a wrongful termination claim considerably. Third and finally, it helps make your small business appear legitimate. Often, the phrase “small” is associated with a backwoods approach to business. Showing the world that you are a legitimate corporation who is to be taken seriously will enhance your image and improve your reputation, ultimately improving your business.

The Platinum Package

This package provides the greatest level of legal services for your business. Here are the business attorney Tulsa legal services provided to a business under the Platinum Package:

  • Five (5) hours of talk time with Attorney Ryan Childress per month
  • Unlimited e-mails and text messages with Attorney Ryan Childress per month
  • A one-time site visit by Attorney Ryan Childress to the business to assess any legal needs
  • Unlimited review of any document under 200 pages by business attorney Tulsa Ryan Childress
  • Drafting of a Policies & Procedures Manual with signed acknowledgment form by all employees (if the company already has a policy and procedures manual, then it will be reviewed and a signed acknowledgement form added if one does not exist)
  • Unlimited external correspondence
  • Five (5) hours of legal research into any issue

 

This package contains significant upgrades from its predecessors. Updated talk time, review of documents less than 200 pages, unlimited external correspondence, and five hours of legal research into any issue.

The greatest upgrades come from the addition of unlimited external correspondence and legal research from this business attorney Tulsa. The unlimited external correspondence will serve to add even more legitimacy to your business as it will show you have an attorney on retainer to address any issues. This has multiple benefits and can serve as a major deterrent to wayward parties considering litigation.

Legal research into any issue adds significant protection to your business. This will allow Attorney Ryan Childress to thoroughly examine all aspects of whatever issues your business faces and provide you with the most accurate report possible. If the research is expected to exceed five hours, business attorney Tulsa Ryan Childress will confer with the business owner to determine an appropriate plan.

For any services above and beyond the package, regardless of which package is chosen, Attorney Ryan Childress charges $250.00 per hour, which is well below market.

The services described above reset at the beginning of each month and do not carry over. For example, if a business chooses the Platinum package and does not use any research for four months and then a project emerges that requires 16 hours of legal research, the business will have four of those credited for that month and then be charged $250.00/hour for the remaining twelve hours.
