What is a “retainer” and how much is it?
A retainer is an initial deposit that we require before we will agree to represent you, against which we bill our time – much in the way that a checking account deposit is necessary before you can write checks or use your debit card. Our retainer for a divorce case varies between $2,500 and $10,000 based on the complexity of the issues and the amount of immediate work that needs to be done. For more information, see our billing practices below.
