How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Postnuptial Agreement in New York (January 2022)

In 2022, a personal client in New York sought assistance with the review of a postnuptial agreement they had created using an online legal service. The client's primary concern was ensuring that the agreement accurately reflected their intentions, specifically regarding the absence of any division of assets and liabilities, as well as provisions for alimony or inheritance. With only six months of marriage and no shared assets beyond a lease and a joint bank account, affordability was also a crucial factor for the client. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
