Billing & Retainers

Professional Legal Terms

We offer dedicated professional discounts for law firms, corporate counsel, and pro-bono litigation support. A standard retainer agreement is required for all new clients, with unused funds fully refunded upon case completion. For simple tasks that could potentially be covered by the $150 one-hour minimum the retainer is $150. More complex investigations require larger retainers.

Our detailed reports and itemized billing statements are designed to be court-ready, ensuring complete transparency for client billing and legal fee recovery applications.
