FIRM OVERVIEW
Fisher, Skrobot & Sheraw LLC was founded in its current form in 1998, but George Fisher and David Skrobot practiced together in various partnership configurations for nearly 30 years. Brett Sheraw joined the firm in 2001.
Our attorneys combine their skills in an effort to provide knowledge and experience normally available only in much larger firms. It is a conscious choice to maintain a small firm structure, which allows Fisher, Skrobot & Sheraw LLC to provide its clients with more personalized attention, better service, and a reasonable fee structure. We focus on our clients’ best interests at all times, not pursuing litigation needlessly increasing fees. Client service and caring for our clients’ best interests is our priority and focus.
Although our firm is located in Franklin County, Ohio, our attorneys serve our clients in all areas of Central Ohio as well as counties throughout Northern and Southern Ohio.
Fee Structure
One of the most sensitive and challenging topics in a professional relationship is the cost of legal services. At Fisher, Skrobot & Sheraw, LLC our goal is to be fair to our clients and fair to the economic realties of our firm. We believe that the fees we charge accomplish both of those objectives.
Unlike some other firms, we do not believe that free consultations are in the long-term best interests of either the client or the firm. Our experience has told us that only clients with a committed interest in their legal problem will carry through. Many legal issues are complex and an initial consultation can only provide the broadest outline of the issues, may miss key information to the client and attorney, and cannot serve as a basis for providing legal opinions or recommendations.
Retainers
We require retainers for all cases. The amount of retainer can range from $500 for certain estate planning matters to $5,000 or more for litigation matters. The amount of the retainer cannot be fairly determined until the full extent of the issues are known. Normally a retainer must be paid before any substantive work is begun. Once the initial retainer has been exhausted, it must generally be replenished throughout the case.
