SHAWN BUNYARD SHAWN R. BUNYARD, TAVIS AND BUNYARD, THE TAVIS BUNYARD, This firm takes your money and does not deliver. Do not trust them. They pass your case on to an incompetent junior partner: Shawn Bunyard Santa Rosa California

 Thank you for sharing your perceptions of what occurred.  I politely disagree with the recitation of facts.  During the initial phone call inquiry, our office provides potential clients the range of retainers our firm requires.  The range varies depending on the complexity of the issues.  Complex matters require a much higher retainer.  In this specific instance a retainer was quoted.  When asked if the retainer could be paid one half up front and one half at a later date (several weeks or a month later), the initial answer was, "yes."  However, as an associate I was not able to agree to that offer, it needed to be reviewed by the senior attorney.  That attorney rejected the offer and I passed along the information.  I apologize for any inconvenience it caused.

I was happy to understand that another attorney was able to provide the services.
