Why did it cost $7,300.00 for corporate and non-profit filing fees for three corporations? This kind of work is done all the time for a few hundred dollars per corporation.
Were the Free Republic Institute or Free Republic Network involved in those corporate filings?
If you use lawyers and get personalized papers, this is not a bad deal. The few hundred dollars gets you boilerplate docs, and in certain situations, this can cost you dearly.

Well, it's a long story and I do not want to go into any detail about it at this time because there are still negotiations in progress and who knows? There may even be some additional litigation before it's all resolved. By the way, we did not believe that eschoir would abide by any terms agreed to short of a court order.
$7,300 was the price quoted. We had a quote earlier from a different firm and it was much higher. $2,500 or so per firm for incorporation and 501(c) filing did not seem out of line at the time.
The origingal Free Republic Institute and Network have been abandoned. The current FRN is a new project. I am not involved with it.
