Box 24 Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 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. i . tea Wayne F. Shade, Esquire to Ms. Joan M.

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 pursue your case as diligently and expeditiously as possible. Very truly yours,, Wayne , . Shade WFS/ct Enclosures Acknowledged and agreed this e?, `' "day of June, 1996. Joan Beattie COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBRLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Wayne F Shade 53 W Pomfret Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Plaintiff V Joan M Beattie 75 Partridge Circle Carlisle, PA 17013 Defendant CIVIL ACTION LAW No. 14-6091 ANSWER Plaintiff - Wayne F Shade whose office is located at 53 W Pomfret St, Carlisle PA 17013 Defendant - Joan M Beattie who resides at 75 Partridge Circle, Carlisle PA 17013 d r Z -r~y. la rr r W <C) -a c 'an. = C) . 73 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.
