When your case concludes, don't just walk away. Ensure a clean break.
- Get Your File: Ask for a complete digital copy of your file. The contents belong to you, though the attorney's internal notes may not.
- Final Accounting: Request a zero-balance statement or a refund of any remaining retainer funds.
- Closing Letter: Ask for a letter confirming their representation has ended. This protects both of you.
- Leave a Review: If they did a good job, a Google review is the best thank you. Be truthful but avoid sharing confidential details of your case online.
