An attorney's professional duties to the client, including providing a retainer agreement and not taking unearned fees.
“we're in our retainer agreement the Colorado Supreme Court has said that we have to say in our retainer agreements at what point we get to take money out now if your attorney is not giving you a retainer agreement or you don't have a copy of your retainer agreement that is a huge red flag because number one you need to be aware of exactly what you're paying for and when and number two that is a violation of their ethical obligations to you client”
“the last red flag that I'll say is if you get a retainer agreement that says hey you pay me this money and I earn it all as soon as you pay it that is not ethically allowed in Colorado so let another attorney know immediately if you have a retainer agreement that says that because that is not allowed in the state of Colorado they cannot just take all of your money up front and not do any work to earn it”
“now if your attorney is not giving you a retainer agreement or you don't have a copy of your retainer agreement that is a huge red flag”
