§ 6563 Licensee Fee Disclosure Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If a business has a website, they must show their prices (like hourly fees) online by January 1, 2023.
  • •If a business doesn’t have a website, they must tell customers their prices before signing a contract.
  • •If a customer asks, the business must share their prices even after the contract is signed.
  • •If the customer is someone under special care (like a conservatee), the business must tell their family or guardians the prices too.

Example

You hire a lawyer to help with a problem, but they don’t have a website.

Before you sign any papers, the lawyer must tell you how much they charge per hour or for the whole job. If you ask later, they still have to tell you. If you’re under special care (like a conservatee), they must also tell your family or guardians the prices.
