How We Bill
The law requires us to bill by the hour except for our work on injury cases. Our fee arrangement is called an "Evergreen" retainer, meaning that our clients maintain a pre-established amount in trust with us throughout our representation.
An Evergreen retainer requires the client to replenish the account whenever the balance falls below a predetermined minimum. This ensures that there are always sufficient funds to cover legal fees. As the lawyer provides legal services, they bill against the retainer. The fees are deducted from the trust account, and the client is notified of any remaining balance.
Evergreen retainers are more flexible than traditional retainers and provide both the lawyer and the client with a more predictable and efficient way to handle legal fees.
