Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
Retainer Fees Every reputable family law attorney charges a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment to the lawyer at the time he is hired. This payment covers the initial estimated charges in a case. Sometimes it is more than is needed, and then clients get a refund of the unused portion. Often more funds are needed as the case goes along. Here are some important points to know: Retainer Size: This is the most important issue. Retainer Fees range from $5,000 upward, depending on the lawyer and case. Our retainer fees are $10,000 for hiring Brian, less for one of our staff attorneys. The factors that increase the retainer are: (a) whether there are children; (b) assets involved in a divorce; (c) anticipated level of conflict; (d) attorney on the other side; (e) Court that the case is filed in; and, (f) probability that a client will pay in the future.
