Client: It was a $3,000 retainer to be maintained at the $3,000. So they would utilize, and then they send me a bill saying, this is how much you have left in your retainer, and as per our agreement, we need this much to bring it back up to the $3,000. Even when they'd send me a statement, everything was detailed in the statement as to what it was for. Interviewer: Do you remember how you felt after signing the contract? Client: Like I was finally going to get somewhere. That I finally had a lawyer who cared.
