They wouldn't take it on a contingency basis. They'd do it for an hourly rate though. $5000 retainer is a bit steep. The attorney I used down here had a $10K retainer but they felt bad for me since I wasn't the typical corporate client they deal with so they cut it in half for me. Whatever I ended up not using they refunded me.
