Yes. You and your lawyer should agree on
what you will pay the lawyer and what services
will be provided. This way, both of you will know
what to expect from each other.
By law, fee agreements must be in writing
when the lawyer expects the fees and costs to
total $1,000 or more. But even if the lawyer fails
to draw up a written fee agreement, you may
still have to pay the lawyer a reasonable fee for
any work done. In any case, it is always a good
idea to have a written record of the agreement. If
there is a written agreement, keep a copy for
your records; if you have an oral agreement,
make a written note of it.
