Retainer agreement from hell
I've signed a few retainer agreements in my time -- relatively clear and concise ones that were designed to protect attorneys from clients who didn't want to pay.
Apparently I got lucky.
Witness the retainer agreement story Carolyn Elefant has found. She writes:
"There's so much wrong with [Hawaii Attorney Richard] Lee's retainer agreement that I hardly know where to begin. ... The only lesson here is that if you think Lee's retainer agreement is appropriate, then you should probably leave the legal profession now, while you can do so voluntarily -- because with judgment like that, it's only a matter of time before you'll be ordered to go."
Much more here.
