There are different ways that attorneys may charge for legal services. We recommend that you sign a written fee agreement with any lawyer you hire. This agreement, known as a Retainer Agreement, states what services the lawyer will provide and how the lawyer will be paid for those services. In New York, a lawyer is required to have a written fee agreement in matrimonial cases and in contingency fee matters. When you hire an attorney who was recommended by the LRS, the lawyer will provide you with a Retainer Agreement that covers your situation.
