How to Avoid Fee Missteps and Make Getting Paid a Reality

Most common to the practice of law are disputes about fees. The attorney may have recourse, but it is often difficult to recover. The problem with fee disputes is they manifest way before the actual dispute. In this CLE we will discuss fee agreements and the planning behind setting fees. We will discuss how to set fees with clients, how to discuss fees with clients, fees vs. retainers, and how to avoid not getting paid after your investment of time on the matter. Following ethical guidelines from the outset of your engagement will also be discussed.
