At Miami Family Law Group, we believe in clear, upfront communication about fees so you can focus on what matters most: your family and your future.
Evergreen Retainers
We primarily use refundable evergreen retainers to ensure continuous legal coverage without surprises.
How It Works:
- You place an initial deposit – To begin, you’ll provide a retainer. This money goes into a trust account, where it’s kept safe and separate from the law firm’s operating funds.
- We track our time carefully – Every time we work on your case—whether it’s a phone call, email, drafting documents, or a meeting—we record that time in six-minute increments. You only pay for the time spent on your matter.
- We send you invoices – Typically, invoices are sent biweekly or as needed, depending on how active your case is. Each invoice will clearly outline the work performed and the amount deducted from your retainer.
- Your retainer remains ‘evergreen’ – When the balance in your account drops below the agreed-upon amount, we’ll replenish it by charging the credit or debit card you have on file.
- The unused balance will be refunded to you, at the end of your case.
Why We Use Evergreen Retainers:
- Keeps your matter moving forward without delays.
- Ensures your representation is never paused for nonpayment.
- Ensures you are financially prepared for the legal costs.
