Dear "Mike", It is unfortunate that this was your impression of our working relationship as I feel I was able to accomplish an extremely great outcome in your matter. The retainer agreement entered into requires both attorney and client to uphold certain portions of the contract, this includes the compensation of fees for my time spend dedicated to your matter as I set aside other matters to deal with your most pertinent issues. The initial retainer fee was for an uncontested divorce and the method of billing was outlined in the contract signed by you. Clients are billed hourly. Once the billing in your specific case exceeded the retainer fee, rather than demand the full monthly payment upfront. Payment plans are sometimes offered to those who qualify. I take pride in my diligence in responding to clients emails, texts and calls, and requests for in person meetings, but I do have a policy that absent emergency communications are typically returned within a 48-72 hour time frame.
