Quick Summary of the Retainer Agreement on Legal Malpractice Work.
bulletThe work of Leonard Bucklin is at the rate of $300 per hour, plus costs.
bulletYou must deposit an initial retainer of  $7,500 before we do any work.  $2,500 of that amount is reserved for the final billing in the case, and is not applied to any interim billings.
bulletWe do not attend depositions or trials unless all past work is paid and prepayments are made.

After Bucklin has received a signed retainer agreement from you, then a decision will be made whether to accept the proffered retainer agreement and proceed to work for you as a client.  If BOC accepts, you will be informed. 

No work will be done unless BOC accepts the offer you have made by sending us a signed retainer agreement with a retainer fee to BOC.

BOC may decline some proffered retainer agreements simply because of the press of other work at the time of your request.  We do not accept work if we do not have the time to give it the care and attention it deserves. Some requested work may require an increased hourly fee or an increased deposit before BOC  will agree to accept a retainer agreement. 

A typical situation in which BOC will not accept a proffered retainer agreement without an increased deposit or fee is one in which the proffering attorney requests us to do a huge volume of work within a short time deadline, requiring us to drop other work.
