Kaufman, Rosenberg & Cohen strives to provide quality service at a reasonable cost. Professional fees are determined by accumulating the actual time spent by firm members multiplied by their respective hourly billing rates. Although the firm's general policy on determining client fees is based on the amount of time required, there are minimum fees that will be charged when the hourly billing rates and costs do not exceed the firm's minimum fee for the specific service. All billing statements are closely scrutinized by a partner before they are sent to the client. Every effort is made to insure that the fees are fair and equitable. Itemized statements for services rendered are issued monthly.
