So Now, How Should You Pay Your Lawyer?

This is the last of a series of posts describing different fee arrangements offered by attorneys.

Now that you know something about the various ways that you can pay a lawyer, evaluate each of those methods as best you can as they apply to your case. Feel free to suggest whatever method you think would be best for you.

Whatever you do, though, GET THE AGREEMENT IN WRITING. It is against ethics rules under most circumstances for a lawyer to not give you a written retainer agreement. You want to be protected by the content of some document.
