It depends what the retainer covers, and that is sort of like (adult 101). By the second year you know all about how to file records, your release forms etc, the retainer goes up a tad, and what he offers you doesn't. It now falls under billable hours. So you pay 5k for nothing, and everything he does for you, phone calls, a letter to Peter A. Pirate etc, is billable at 200+ an hour. It's all bullshit and these guys bend you over a barrel. You can do just as well with a regular business attorney.
