Make sure to get a weekly or biweekly statement of the services rendered during that time period. Do this to keep track of all expenses and time investments so there is no confusion months into the process or when it is over. Get the agreement to provide such documentation in writing as a part of her retainer. She is worth the cost....really. Remember ANY attorney is a partner. Do your own homework. It is still your decision what path you need to take. Seriously consider the recommendation for 24 hours if possible. It will save you a lot of money that you work very hard to get in the first place.
