What is a retainer?

2010-03-03T11:16:51.225-05:00

A retainer is a sum of money that you would be required to pay before legal work commenced. The amount varies depending on the size and complexity of your case. As work is performed for you, the amount billed will be deducted from the retainer. If the retainer amount falls below a certain level, you may be required to replenish it so that we may continue to work for your case. If all requested work is completed and you still have an amount of unused retainer, you will receive the difference back.
