HAS ANYONE OUT THERE EVER HEARD OF AN ATTORNEY WHO TAKES ON A CASE ON A 40% CONTINGENCEY BASIS THEN CHARGES A RETAINER FEE OF $4500.00. THEN TELLS CLIENT THAT IF THEY WANT ANY DEFFENDENTS DEPOSITIONED THAT THE CLIENT NEEDS TO COME UP WITH THE money TO PAY FOR IT??? I WOULD LOVE AND APPRECIATE ANY EDUCATED FEEDBACK BECAUSE THIS IS NOT ADDING UP TO ME.

I have never heard of this. My attorney required a $5000 retainer and all fees come out of the retainer. When you paid your fee, did you sign a contract with the attorney?
