Understanding Retainer Fees: What Are They and Why Do We Charge Them?
When you decide to hire Ashmore & Ashmore Law Firm, you'll come across the term "retainer fee." But what exactly does it mean, and why do we charge them? Here’s a simple explanation.
A retainer fee is an upfront payment made to our firm when you hire us. This fee acts as a deposit against future legal fees and expenses. Since we can't predict every detail of your future legal needs, the retainer helps ensure that funds are available as we work on your case. We hold your retainer in trust, using it only as we earn it through our work. And if there are any unused funds at the end of your case, they’ll be promptly returned to you.
