Are there hidden fees we should know about?
No. And the fact that you’re asking is understandable — this industry doesn’t always make it easy to get a straight answer on this.
Our packages are priced to cover the full scope of work most candidates actually need. We do that deliberately, because charging extra for predictable parts of the process creates the wrong incentives. Your consultant’s energy should go toward strengthening your application, not toward whether a suggestion triggers an additional charge.
There are two genuine exceptions worth naming. The first is rush work. When timelines compress at the last minute, maintaining quality requires significantly more effort and careful reallocation of consultant capacity. We can provide rush support when needed, but it comes at an additional cost — not as a penalty, but because it genuinely takes more to execute well under that kind of pressure. Our goal is always to help you avoid this situation through early planning, not to profit from it.
The second is specialized services that fall outside standard packages — things like LSAT tutoring, rejection analysis, or career counseling for JD candidates exploring options after law school. These are handled separately with clear, published rates. It wouldn’t be fair to fold those costs into standard pricing for everyone.
Most clients never see an extra charge. When something genuinely falls outside the expected scope, we discuss it clearly and in advance. You’ll never be surprised by an invoice you didn’t understand or agree to.
