Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/09/22) */
Mr*** retained Ewbank, Hennigh & McVay, PLLC for representation in his divorce proceedingHe paid the required $retainerMr*** was also informed at that time (with specificity), that his money would be placed in trust and
billed against monthly, based on the work I performed on his caseIt was explained to Mr***, like it is to all clients, that the $was a "retainer" and not a "flat fee." It was explained to Mr*** that if the money in his trust account (i.ethe retainer) was depleted, he'd have to replenish the amount for our firm to continueThis is common practice within the legal community and Mr*** agreed to the arrangement
The work performed on Mr***' case depleted his retainer funds during the pendency of the divorce proceedingMr*** was advised of this fact, and was further advised he would need to replenish his retainer in order to continue legal work within his case as required by his agreement with our firmMr*** owes the firm an additional $for work completed AFTER his retainer ran out
Mr*** does not make any complaints in regard to my billing reports or specific time entries, as all of the work performed was necessary to his caseHe simply complains that he ran out of money and that I couldn't continue working for free
Mr*** was served a copy of our Application to Withdraw, as well as given notice of the hearing as required by lawThere was no objection by Mr*** at the hearing in which the judge allowed us to withdraw
Mr*** has not had any further contact with the law offices of Ewbank, Hennigh & McVay, PLLCMr*** did not provide our firm with any complaints in regard to work performed on his case or his billing, and has never called to dispute billsMr*** simply ran out of funds to pay our firm to continue to represent him like he states in his complaint
