Retaining the Firm

During your office consultation you will be advised of the fee associated with the handling of your case.
When you pay the initial retainer, within 24 hours we will input your basic information into our system. From that date and on, you may refer to us any creditor who contacts you. Generally, referred creditors will contact us to verify that you have retained our law firm. Even though not required by law, most referred creditors will stop contacting you for 30 to 60 days.
In order to retain our law firm you must pay the initial retainer amount quoted at your free consulatation and sign a legal services agreement.
