Retainer Fee
Before an attorney agrees to take your case, he may charge a retainer fee. This fee covers the initial work required for the case, such as filing fees or document preparation. It is a good idea to know how much this retainer is before you decide to hire a particular lawyer.
It is also a good idea to consult different lawyers in order to determine a range in prices. While you don’t want to use cost as the only factor in your decision to hire a lawyer, it can be a useful piece of information. You need to be sure you can afford to hire the lawyer you want.
