As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

#Rudy is positively outraged that his #attorneys are trying to collect their legal fees. How dare these #lawyers expect that Rudy would fulfill his end of the #retainer and #representation agreements he signed up for!
