Many of us work with payment schedules or retainers that we bill against. The problem for your situation appears to be that your husband has accepted a plea bargain. He has only a short time to request a new trial.. You need to get a lawyer immediately if there is to be a chance of changing the sentence (having it reconsidered). You will certainly need a basic retainer to begin with so start interviewing attorneys now.
