Before any work begins, we typically require a retainer, which is placed in a trust account regulated by the State Bar of Texas. Our invoices are then prepared on a monthly basis. Your retainer will be used to pay your invoice, and you will be advised of your retainer balance, and will be required to fully replenish your retainer by the 15th of the month as reflected in each monthly invoice. Any portion of your retainer remaining after the conclusion of the matter for which we have been hired will be refunded to you. The amount of your retainer is subject to increase at any time, depending upon the work that is necessary.
