Re: Custody
Dear Bob:
It was a pleasure meeting with you this afternoon concerning custody of your son, Austin David
Hollinger. As we discussed, the following is a written fee agreement which I ask you to review and
return to me at your convenience.
Because of the nature of the matter, and because of the possibility of the occurrence of
unpredictable and unforeseen circumstances, I am not in a position to quote you a final and specific fee
for my professional services. However, I indicated to you that I would represent you on an hourly basis.
My fee for professional services is One Hundred Seventy-five Dollars ($175.00) per hour,
with fractions of hours computed in periods of not less than 15 minutes, which takes into account
interruption of other work. Each such hour is based upon actual work regarding your particular case.
We will provide you periodic invoices for services rendered. Payments on invoices are due upon
receipt. After thirty (30) days, if an invoice remains unpaid, interest will be charged on the outstanding
monthly.balance at the rate of One and a half Percent (1.5%), annually Eighteen Percent (18%). This
office reserves the right to modify the hourly rate and the rate of interest from time to time with advance
notices to you should those changes be implemented.
We respectfully request you to remit to me the sum of Two Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($2,500.00) as a retainer fee. This retainer will be credited to your account for services
rendered in connection with this case. As work is performed on your behalf, you will be provided
itemized invoices. We expect you to keep current with our billings. We reserve the right to terminate
our attorney-client relationship for non-payment of fees or costs. If this custody action progresses and
the initial retainer is depleted; you will be required to deposit additional retainers.
It is impossible to predict a course that a custody action will take. Therefore, it is important that
you keep me informed of any and all changes in your life once my representation commences. We shall
keep you well informed as to the progress of your case. We will send you copies of all papers coming in
and going out of our offices, including correspondence, pleadings, and other court documents. Do not
make changes or take what may seem like unimportant steps without consultation with me first. Do not
hesitate to ask questions.
