Cost efficiency
This
is integral to the B&V commitment. Clients rightfully expect that the cost of bringing or defending litigation is not greater than a reasonable estimate of its value. We address these issues right from the start with risk analysis, litigation plan development and step-by-step cost benefit analysis with the client. We also provide a cost-benefit analysis of non-litigation planning opportunities. We offer flexible client-oriented billing arrangements which sometimes include options other than traditional hourly rates, such as fixed fees, full or partially contingent fees, blended rates and discounts for high-volume work. All billing arrangements are made in strict conformity with California law.
Community Service
Bowles & Verna is serious in its commitment to the community. The firm has sponsored a multitude of youth athletic teams. Our partners and associates have devoted thousands of hours to involvement with various youth activities. Our attorneys are involved in a variety of nonprofit organizations and their boards of directors, including religious organizations, museums, homeowners associations, and fundraising groups for various charitable and educational institutions.
