The Path Forward & Pricing for a New Small Nonprofit
Legal Services for Set Flat Fees
We’re strong believers in flat-fee arrangements and want clarity in our pricing, so our law firm bills most of our legal work for set prices. We think this promotes transparency and mutual understanding between lawyers and their Alabama clients.
When you’re ready to get started on our Alabama small nonprofit formation package our law firm will send you an engagement agreement, two intake forms, and an invoice for online payment. Once all the documents are signed, forms filled out, and the invoice processed, our attorneys will get started on your work.

Preparing a Name Reservation with the Alabama Secretary of State;
Drafting and filing the Articles of Incorporation with the Alabama Secretary of State and the applicable Probate Court where the entity is based;
