The retainer required by Richmond Law Firm, PLLC generally ranges between $3,500 and $7,500. The exact retainer required for a case will be determined by a number of factors, which includes, but is not limited to the complexity of the case, case settings and deadlines, necessary case-related travel, and expenses anticipated in the case.
A “trial retainer” may also be required in the Law Firm’s contract with client, which means that the client may need to pay an additional retainer amount a certain number of days prior to the client’s scheduled trial date.
A retainer is a deposit of funds paid to the Law Firm in advance. The retainer will be held by the Law Firm in a trust account. The fees and expenses incurred that are related to the client’s case will be billed against the retainer, usually once or twice a month. When the fees and expenses are billed against the client’s retainer, the client will be sent a request to replenish the client’s retainer. The client is expected to replenish the retainer to a predetermined minimum balance (most often the original retainer amount) each time the fees and expenses are billed against the client’s retainer. A retainer replenishment request will be sent to the client identifying the replenishment amount that is required.
For instance, if a client’s initial retainer is $3,500, the client will be required to pay that amount for the Law Firm to begin providing services to the client. In the first month, if there are fees billed towards the client’s case in the amount of $700 and expenses incurred in the amount of $375, then $1,075 will be billed against the client’s retainer. The remaining retainer balance will then be $2,425. The Law Firm will send a retainer replenishment request to the client, requiring that the client replenish his or her trust account in the amount of $1,075 to bring the retainer balance to the original amount of $3,500. This will occur routinely, usually once or twice per month, to ensure funds are on retainer at all times for fees and expenses that are required for the client’s case.
