How Much Does It Cost to Hire Prevost Law Firm for a Solar Case?

If you’re already dealing with a solar problem, paying a lawyer can feel like one more financial burden.

At Prevost Law Firm, you pay a small upfront retainer and an arbitration filing fee to get started. After that, you won’t owe additional legal fees unless we obtain a favorable result. If we do, your additional fee is capped. We also seek to have the lender pay your attorney’s fees when possible.

Here’s how each part of our fee structure works.

What Does It Cost to Get Started?

Your initial costs are a small upfront retainer and an arbitration filing fee.

The retainer covers the work needed to begin your case, including:

• Collecting and reviewing your documents
• Preparing your claim
• Drafting and sending a demand letter to the lender

A demand letter explains your dispute and asks the lender to resolve it.

The arbitration filing fee is separate. It covers the cost of filing your case in arbitration. Many solar cases are resolved through arbitration rather than in court.

Payment plans are available to make these initial costs more manageable.

Do I Owe More If You Don’t Get a Favorable Result?

No. Beyond the upfront retainer and arbitration filing fee, you won’t owe us additional legal fees unless we obtain a favorable result.

Your representation agreement will explain what counts as a favorable result and how any additional fee is calculated. This ties a significant portion of our fee to the outcome of your case.

Why Do Fees Vary Between Solar Cases?

Legal fees can vary widely between law firms.

At Prevost Law Firm, your fee arrangement depends on the circumstances of your case and how we pursue a resolution. That can include whether your claim involves the lender, the installer, or both. While a flat fee for the up front costs is offered, there are some case costs that vary. The fees are clearly disclosed on no-cost case reviews.

Whatever your arrangement, the additional fee you may owe is capped. Even if we obtain the maximum relief available in your case, your additional fee will not exceed the agreed cap.

What If the Lender Pays My Attorney’s Fees?

When possible, we seek to have the lender pay your attorney’s fees. Any attorney’s fees recovered from the lender are credited toward what you owe us, which reduces your balance.

Whether those fees can be recovered depends on the circumstances and outcome of your case. Recovery is not guaranteed. If we don’t recover attorney’s fees from the lender, your fee cap still applies.

Are Payment Plans Available for the Remaining Balance?

Yes. If you owe a balance after a favorable result, payment plans and interest-free financing are available to help you spread out the payments.

We’ll explain the available options and their terms so you can see how they fit your budget.

How Will I Know What My Case Will Cost?

Before you hire Prevost Law Firm, your representation agreement will explain:

• Your upfront retainer and arbitration filing fee
• What counts as a favorable result
• How additional legal fees are calculated and capped
• How attorney’s fees recovered from the lender affect your balance
• Your available payment options

Clear fee terms are one of the most important things to look for when hiring help. Here are questions to ask before you hire a solar claim company.

If you’re considering legal help with a solar case, request a no-cost claim review to discuss your situation and the fees that would apply.

Every case is different. A favorable result, loan cancellation, and recovery of attorney’s fees cannot be guaranteed. Be cautious of anyone who promises otherwise. Learn more about solar panel cancellation guarantees and red flags.
