Per Diem Attorney Availability & Rates

Reliable coverage, a flat rate quoted before anyone steps into court, and no hidden fees. Here is how our per diem rates are set and how to check whether we are open for your date in Suffolk or Nassau County.

See What Goes Into a Per Diem Quote

We do not post a flat price list, because a fair per diem rate depends on the appearance itself. Pick the court and the type of matter below and we will show you exactly what factors into your quote, so there is nothing hidden by the time you call.

    This tool explains the variables behind a per diem quote. It does not generate a price. Your firm rate is confirmed by phone or email before the appearance.

    Checking Availability

    Three Steps to Confirm Your Date

    Booking coverage is quick. Most requests are confirmed in a single call, whether the appearance is weeks out or later today.

    Call 631-964-4418 or email the office with your court, date, and appearance time to check whether we are open.

    2

    3

    Get Confirmation

    We confirm availability quickly, including same-day requests when the calendar allows, so your client is covered across Suffolk County and Nassau.

    How We Price

    Rates You Can Rely On

    Flat and Up Front

    You get one clear number at confirmation, before anyone appears. No hourly meter, no estimate that moves after the fact.

    No Hidden Fees

    The rate is the rate. If a same-day or urgent request carries anything additional, we tell you before you commit, not after.

    Set by the Appearance

    Rates track the court, the type of matter, and the time involved, so you are quoted fairly for what the appearance actually requires.

    Straight Answers

    Availability and Rates FAQ

    How far in advance should I request per diem coverage?

    As soon as you know your schedule is ideal, since it locks the date and gives you certainty. That said, we take same-day requests when the calendar allows, so a last-minute conflict does not automatically leave your matter uncovered. Call and we will tell you right away.

    Do you charge different rates for different courts?

    Yes. The rate reflects the appearance, so a Supreme Court motion and a District Court conference are not automatically priced the same. The court, the type of matter, and the time involved all factor in, which is why we quote per appearance rather than post a single flat number.

    Are rates higher for last-minute requests?

    We quote the rate up front, and if an urgent or same-day request carries anything additional, we tell you before you commit. You will never see a surprise charge after the appearance. The number we confirm is the number you pay.

    Do you require payment up front?

    Payment terms are set when you schedule, and many attorneys arrange coverage on a straightforward per-appearance basis. If you use us regularly, we can settle on terms that fit how your firm handles per diem work rather than a one-size approach.

    Can I book multiple per diem dates at once?

    Yes. If you know your court calendar, we can schedule recurring coverage in a single conversation so the dates are locked and you are not requesting one appearance at a time. Firms with steady overflow tend to set these up in advance.

    Send us the court, date, and matter, and we will confirm availability and quote a flat rate up front. Same-day requests welcome when the calendar allows.
