In Illinois by law must an attorney provide a written retainer agreement and billing statements? If so what is the timeline for each?

No, but the lawyer should clearly identify in some way, preferably in writing, what his or her fees will be and how they will be billed -- flat rate, hourly, etc. Then you are BOTH at risk of a dispute but hopefully if both of you are honorable things will be ok. But if you don't know the attorney from adam (and even if you do) and if you want one and the attorney says you don't need one or don't worry, time to move on because the attorney isn't even giving you the basic contractual arrangement you desire. |
