How much does it cost to retain a lawyer?
A question that is often asked, but can
only be answered after one of our attorneys meets with you.
Simply, fees in the practice of law are not based upon a price list, but
rather on your individual needs and your particular situation.
The needs of our client, and the individual circumstances of each legal issue
is of paramount importance. Therefore, in order to quote a
retainer, or a base fee, our lawyer must be able to meet with you and
explore your needs and the circumstances of your case - both the factual
basis and the issues of law.
What is a Retainer Fee?
A retainer is an advanced payment of legal
fees based upon the anticipated cost of representation, and assures that
the attorney will be available to represent you. At Purple
Law Firm our attorneys typically set retainer fees after meeting with a
prospective client, and determining your needs and the particular complexities of your case.
After I pay a retainer do I
need to pay any more?
It depends. Our
Chattanooga attorneys, Tennessee lawyers always
strive to set retainers which are accurate and reflect the total
anticipated attorney fees of a case. However, there are times that it is
not possible to fully anticipate the total time which will be involved
in a case, in particular when dealing with an adversary or other third
parties. Additional lawyer fees typically will apply for work which is
outside of the attorney/client contract, such as post judgment
collection, or unrelated legal matters.
Who pays the Expenses or costs of a legal case?
Expenses and costs of legal
representation are the responsibility of the client. As with legal
fees, expenses involved in each case varies. For more details
