I bet this is the biggest complaint I hear. It is too expensive to get advise from a lawyer. However, I think the average person ASSUMES that it is too expensive to talk with a lawyer. There are alot of lawyers that offer either a free consultation or some reduced rate for the first consultation. After that each attorney sets their own fees on what they expect it will cost them to prepare your case and follow it through to the end.
You may ask "why do we have to pay such a BIG retainer?" Well the amount varies from client to client. Your case may be more complicated than another. A case may be mostly paperwork, while other cases require a lot of court time (which is considerly more expensive). Most attorneys are not overcharging you. However, be careful and look at several different firms instead of just one. When you meet the attorney for the first time, make sure they are attentive and sound like they care about you and your case. Remember they are on their best behavior, so if you don't like the attorney then you are even less likely to like them in the future.
