[quote=Anonymous]My experience was contacting the lawyer by phone,  paying for an initial consult ($400) and then following a few of the instructions she gave me. Then I arranged another meeting at which we reviewed the changes and I signed the retainer agreement. I brought my cheque book to the second meeting (6 months later) and paid the 5K retainer. My ex tried to use someone from her firm (he retained them); I hadn't retained her yet, but we had already been working together so her colleague stepped away.

Prior to the official agreement she had given me her cellphone number so she was available for brief consult while I completed her instructions.

What did they say at the meeting when you said you wanted to retain them?  It seems odd you wouldn't just sign the agreement right then.

My lawyer is very busy but usually responds within four hours if not instantly. Sometimes it's only two words, but it's a response. What are you looking to do (draft papers, get advice, get things in order etc.)?

The biggest thing I've learned from my lawyer is that they do not do anything in a rush. This has been good for me overall, but created a lot of anxiety at times.[/quote]
