A fee structure used by most criminal defense attorneys where the client's payment is placed in a trust account and billed against.
“in Colorado you should know exactly at what point your attorney is taking money from the trust account where you put money in to cover the cost of your case there should be a retainer agreement that you signed and it should list out very specifically at what stage in the case the attorney is allowed to withdraw that money now for those of you who aren't aware what happened in Colorado when you are working with a flat fee case which is what most criminal defense attorneys do is we as the criminal defense attorney take your money that you pay it and put it in a trust account and then we bill from that trust account so when the money is in the trust account it is your money still belongs to you”
