TO MY CLIENTS: POLICY REGARDING SERVICE, FEES & RETAINER
Quality legal service requires skill and time. My skill and time is my "stock in trade" -- and
generally my fees are based on skill and time expended.
It is always proper for you, my client, to discuss fee arrangements, progress in the matter or
details of a particular bill. It will help you and I if you would read this explanation and discuss
any questions you may have.
TYPES OF FEES
CONSULTATION: For an initial consultation, charges primarily will be based on the time I
spend with you. If my consultation reveals that I need to study the law or facts of your case
further before I decide to take it, I will discuss this further step, and the fee, if any, with you.
STANDARD FEES: I will quote a fixed fee for some standardized services such as the
drafting of routine deeds and wills.
CONTINGENT FEES: In some situations involving lawsuits for recovery of a sum of
money [personal injury suits, for example] I will receive a fixed percentage of the total recovery
as compensation for handling the case. However, all expenses must be paid by you and kept
current on a monthly basis.
VARIABLE OR HOURLY FEES: In most matters I will charge an hourly rate of
$115.00. In order to provide cost effective representation, some of the work in your case may
be performed by my paralegal, whose hourly rate is $60.00. 1 shall be pleased, however, to
furnish you with an idea of the approximate time I will spend on the matter. However, this
figure can only be a rough estimate. I reserve the right to increase these rates during the scope
of my representation, especially if said representation extends for a lengthy duration. You will
receive thirty (30) days advance notice of any rate increase and you would have the right to
terminate the services of my office should you desire.
RETAINERS: This office requests a $600.00 retainer fee. The fee is generally a deposit
for costs and expenses which I expect to incur when I agree to proceed with your matter. The
retainer is non-refundable.
CHARGING: My office will keep accurate records of the time expended and services
performed on your matter. When I send you my bill, I will specify the time spent on your
matter, how it was spent, and the charge for that time. In addition, you will be billed for actual
disbursements I make on your behalf.
BILLING: You will be billed through the 15th of each month. I expect payment within 30
days. Balances unpaid by the 15th of the subsequent month will be charged interest at the rate
of 1% per month. This additional charge is for the added costs associated with handling
delinquent accounts. Payment in full with each bill received will avoid the interest charge.
MOST IMPORTANT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK THEW!
I understand and agree with the foregoing policy regarding service, fees and retainer and
payment schedule.
