Where are retainer and closing statements filed and how may I obtain a copy?
Retainer and closing statements are filed with the Office of Court Administration (22 NYCRR 691.20). Such statements are confidential and may not be disclosed or inspected except on written order of the Presiding Justice (22 NYCRR 691.20[c][1]). An application for disclosure may be made by letter addressed to the Clerk of the Court, setting forth good cause for the relief requested. If the application seeks disclosure of a retainer or closing statement filed by someone other than the applicant, a copy of the letter seeking disclosure should be sent to the attorney who filed the statement in question unless good cause exists for omitting such notice.
