RETAINER AND FEE CONSIDERATIONS

The attorneys of Orbovich & Gartner understand the myriad factors that cause dramatic fluctuations in the amount of legal services required for a given year. These factors include nursing home survey results, resident incident occurrences, threatened or actual investigations by governmental entities, opportunities for acquisitions, refinancings or new housing facilities, new significant governmental requirements, and organizational needs for governance and entity restructuring.

Over the years, the lawyers of Orbovich & Gartner have provided forms and templates to assist clients in advancing many projects on their own prior to attorney review. This acquisition of competence by our clients has been a cost-effective way for them to manage their need for legal services in many areas.

Our firm typically requires new clients to deposit funds with our firm as a retainer prior to our beginning work for that client. We also frequently require similar deposits with respect to similar new projects.

Our normal hourly billing rates are extremely competitive, given our level of expertise and experience. We are careful to use our time conscientiously. Orbovich & Gartner does not make a general disbursement of our overhead among our clients. Rather, we charge clients only for photocopies made for them and for other out-of-pocket expenses we incur specifically for a particular client. To learn our standard hourly rates, please telephone our lawyers personally.
