1. What Priya actually does

Priya practices family law, which in Bellwood means separation, divorce, parenting time, and support, usually for people having the hardest year of their life. She starts every file the same way: with a written plan of the steps ahead, so the fear has something to push against.

She keeps the temperature down. Letters to the other side are measured, not fired off in anger, and where there are children she puts the calmest lawful path on the table before any other. It is slower some days and cheaper most.

When a matter can be settled at the kitchen table instead of the courthouse, she says so, even though the courthouse pays better.

2. The rate, stated plainly

$325

per hour, partner

Priya’s time is billed in six-minute increments and itemized on a monthly statement, so you can see exactly what was done, when, and for how long. Many matters Priya handles are quoted as a flat fee instead, agreed in writing before the work begins.

3. Clauses Priya keeps

Three commitments Priya makes to every client, written the way they would sit in an agreement, with the plain meaning in the margin.

K.1

Every client leaves the first meeting with a written plan of the steps ahead.

You go home the first day with the road drawn out, not just the worry.

K.2

Correspondence to the other side is shown to the client before it is sent.

You read what I am sending your ex before it goes.

K.3

Where children are involved, the calmest path the law allows is offered first.

If there are kids, I put the quietest route on the table before any other.
