Re: Beattie v. Beattie
Dear Ms. Beattie:
Pennsylvania law requires that the fee arrangement between
the attorney and the client be placed in writing. Therefore,
this letter will confirm our discussion in this office on June
13, 1996, concerning our willingness to represent you with regard
to your domestic relations proceedings.
Because of the nature of such proceedings and the possible
occurrence of unforeseen complications, we are not in a position
to quote you a final and specific fee for our services.
Our fees will be billed at the rate of $150.00 per hour; and
we will maintain time records which you may review at anytime.
This hourly rate will prevail until January 2, 1997, after which
it may be increased if it should become necessary for us to
increase our fee schedule. It should be understood that we keep
an itemized record of our conferences, telephone calls, document
drafting, research, Court time and travel time, if any. Our
records of time expended are kept in fractions of hours with a
minimum of one-tenth hour for each activity. The preparation of
certain documents such as pleadings and agreements may be billed
upon a flat-rate basis rather than a time-expended basis. We
ordinarily send bills only upon reaching significant points in
your case as opposed to sending monthly bills. However, you may
request an itemized bill at anytime. It should also be
understood that our fees will not be limited by any Court award
of attorney fees in the case and that any Court costs and other
expenses incurred in connection with this matter will be
reimbursable in addition to our fees for services rendered.
We will make every effort to keep you as well informed as to
the progress of your case as possible. If we are unavailable
when you call, we will make every effort to return your call as
quickly as possible.

If this arrangement is in accordance with your
understanding, please acknowledge your agreement in the space
provided below and return this letter to our office. You may
retain the enclosed copy for your files.
Should you have any questions in any respect, please do not
hesitate to call.
We appreciate the opportunity of representing you in this
matter of importance to you; and we assure you that we will

My answer to this complaint is that I honestly believe that Mr Shade took advantage of my
circumstances dragging this case on for over 16 years. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2002
and my cognitive abilities have been compromised by this disease. Mr Shade knew that and I feel he
used that to his advantage. I also had a fiancee, who passed away in 2008, who had a considerable
amount of money and I did inherit quite a bit from him. I honestly believe that Mr Shade knew all along
that there was a guarantee of money , so he intentionally dragged this case on as long as he could. I
have already paid him $120,917.75 and I got nothing in the divorce settlement..my ex-husband got it all!
Mr Shade claims I owe him a balance of $23,720.40 and I don't think I do. I have never received monthly
statements from Mr Shade over the 16 years.
Thank you Your Honor
Sincerely Yours
