Law firm practice areas page
Five practice areas with what is included, typical questions and a fee approach, a fixed fee and hourly billing explainer, and a fee FAQ accordion.
When to use it
The page where a visitor decides whether to call, so it answers the cost question directly instead of saying “contact us for pricing”. It opens with the three ways the firm bills (fixed fee, hourly, and a retainer held in trust) because a reader who understands the billing method reads every fee line below it correctly. Each of the five practice areas then follows the same pattern: who it is for, what is included, the questions clients actually ask, and a highlighted fee line. Those questions are also the phrases people type into search, which helps each section get found. The FAQ at the end covers contingency fees, retainers and guarantees, the points prospective clients most often misunderstand. Replace the fee figures before anything else; they are illustrative. Keep each fixed-fee scope specific, such as “up to 15 pages” or “including powers of attorney”, so a fixed price never turns into an argument about what it covered.
What it converts to
Converted with the Native components mode. The component list below is what this template produces — not a generic example.
- Container × 23
- Container (grid) × 6
- Container (grid, 3 columns) × 1
- HTML widget × 1 — the block’s scoped CSS; keep it, the layout depends on it
- Text Editor × 16
- Heading × 19
- Button × 2
- Image × 1
- Icon Box × 3
- Icon List × 10
- Accordion × 1
Things worth knowing
- The five FAQ items are built with <details> elements and convert to one Accordion widget (core Elementor, no Pro needed), with each answer editable in its own item.
- Each practice area’s “What’s included” and “Typical questions” lists become separate Icon List widgets, ten in total, with check and arrow icons.
- The three billing cards become Icon Box widgets. The fee line in each practice area is a Text Editor with a bold label, so prices are edited as plain text.
- Below 780px each practice area’s two columns stack, with the description and fee line above the two lists.

<p class="eyebrow">Questions about fees and process</p>
<h2>Before you get in touch</h2>
<div class="faq">
<details><summary>Is the first consultation really free?</summary><p>Yes. The first call or meeting lasts up to 30 minutes and there is no charge. We use it to understand the situation, check for conflicts of interest and tell you whether we are the right firm. You are under no obligation to hire us afterwards.</p></details>
<details><summary>Do you take cases on a contingency fee?</summary><p>No. Contingency fees are common in personal injury work, which we do not handle. If your matter needs that kind of firm, we will tell you during the first call and suggest how to find one.</p></details>
<details><summary>What happens to a retainer deposit?</summary><p>It is held in a client trust account, separate from the firm’s own money. Fees are drawn from it only after they are billed to you, each statement shows the balance, and anything left at the end of the matter is refunded.</p></details>
<details><summary>Can you tell me how my case will turn out?</summary><p>No attorney can honestly promise a result. What we can do is explain the realistic range of outcomes, the risks on each side and the likely costs, so the decisions you make are informed ones.</p></details>
<details><summary>Are there costs on top of the fee?</summary><p>Sometimes. Court filing fees, deed recording fees and certified copies are charged by courts and county offices. We pass them on at cost, with no markup, and list them separately on your statement.</p></details>
