We look forward to speaking with you today and appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to consult with us. Regardless of anything that may or may not be said in your consultation today, our office's representation of you will not begin until such time as each of us has signed a Client Fee Agreement, and you have provided us with a retainer. This is important because we both need to fully understand when your representation will begin, so there will be no misunderstandings between us.
