Legal Fees

We try to be as affordable as possible.

All of our clients start with an initial phone consultation with an attorney. During your phone consultation, we will provide you legal advice regarding your tenancy issues in the District of Columbia. If you are interested in a consultation, please contact our office to submit a request.

We charge $75 for consultations, for a call of up to 45 minutes. If you hire us for additional work after the consultation, we would charge $120 per hour unless you hire us to sue your landlord. If you hire us to sue your landlord, our hourly rate for all work would be $200 per hour. These rates exclude most TOPA cases and the hourly rate of our founding attorney. Due to his very limited capacity, Marc Borbely’s hourly rate is $250 per hour.

We can discuss with you whether your landlord may be required to pay your legal fees if you are successful with your claims. If you have a strong claim for money damages against your landlord, we may be willing to take your case on contingency.

Call us at (202) 681-6871, or e-mail us at admin [at] dctenants.com, if you think we can be helpful!
