meg (on Violet Hill) asked:


Let’s say someone murdered their spouse. What would the process be after that person hires a defense attorney?

Reflexions P asked:


I asked this question in a different way, and I neglected to explain that it’s not a law suit case, so ‘contingency’ is probably not an option.
My question is: If a potential client doesn’t have the entire retainers fee up front for an attorney, is there a way that an attorney can start representing the client with some sort of a guarantee that he/she will be paid? Is there a form of written agreement that can be drawn up between the attorney and the potential client?
