Guaranteed Low Hourly Rate:
Plan attorneys have contracted to never charge more than $125.00 per hour for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services described above. After the free letters, calls and consultations take place, you and your attorney will decide what course of action to take next. In many cases, you will have no choice and litigation may ensue. This is the point in time that plan attorneys charge the $125.00 hourly rate for legal care.
Retainers:
In the case of extended legal care, plan attorneys may ask you for a retainer. Any retainer sought will be computed by multiplying the number of hours a plan attorney believes a case will take, by the plan’s discounted hourly rate. For instance; 10 hours x $125.00 = a retainer of $1250.00. Any unused portion of the retainer will be returned to you.
Contingency Fee Discounts:
In the case of extended legal care, plan attorneys may ask you for a retainer.

The contingency fee discount will be a 10% reduction of the state maximum rate or the attorney’s usual rate, whichever is lower.
