Prices are subject to change. The fees are based on the fee schedule in effect at the time the work is performed. So when a lawyer asks me for my fee schedule, they get a PDF that looks like this: Fees are billed in quarterly (1/4) installments and include time spent on clients during office consultations, review of medical records and other documents, research, preparation of reports, telephone consultations, testimony during statements, hearings and trials, and travel time to and from the office. The expert cannot guarantee a total amount. Billing depends on the time spent on the file and other expenses. The fee schedule includes a second review by a partner law nurse consultant. Your fees are ultimately determined by several things – not just your degrees. My equation for establishing a fee schedule is: education + experience + certification + factory. This means that education alone does not determine how much you can calculate. Consider all of these things to determine your value.
Not sure what the baseline should look like? Talk to trusted colleagues who have established counselling practices. This allows you to see the spectrum of compensation and create a starting point for determining your own fee schedule.

Provide written supporting documents to the lawyer or legal team regarding the case Finally, I would like to draw your attention to this statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which was published in its Guidelines for Expert Testimony in Medical Malpractice Proceedings. It provides a great framework for setting your own fee schedule and moving forward thoughtfully in your role as a professional advisor and witness: you need to create a fee schedule, not just create a single rate. I have rates for the work I do at home – these are charged by the hour. If I have to travel somewhere, I charge a flat rate for on-site work every day. My trip will be charged at an hourly rate with an upper limit. And there is information in the fee schedule on the expected reimbursement for travel, accommodation and per diem. Remember that not everything costs the same: I charge a different amount for remote check-in verification and telephone advice than for on-site advice and trial work. Lessons are billed differently than trial lessons. Travel days will also be charged at a different price. You want to adapt your fee schedule to the different services you offer.
Using what you use in your clinical role as a template for what you should charge as a consultant or evaluator is a misguide. However, it can be the starting point from which you then climb depending on several factors. You must take into account that as a consultant you will be taxed at a higher rate (and you will be responsible for paying these taxes in April, as they are not automatically deducted); And if you`re calculating a plan, keep in mind that many test consultations aren`t necessarily 9-5. During the last military rehearsal, my last day started at 7 a.m. and ended at 4:30 a.m. the next morning. With the exception of 2 short lunch breaks and waiting for the verdict and verdict, I was basically in the courtroom all the time.
