Rates

The initial contact and/or discussion is required for me to start any process.

From this discussion I will do my best to determine primary needs, first steps to take, most often create a plan of execution and possibly generate an estimate of overall costs you should expect. Be prepared with all information about your concerns. This estimate may change at any time and most often after an in-hands inspection.A replenish-able overall retainer fee will be re-estimated after the in hand inspection and must be paid before any work is to proceed. I hold these funds and bill against them. Work stops when charges meet or exceed the retainer. Minimum replenish-able retainer is $350.00 required for the first hour. Any request for work to be performed or funds paid shows your acceptance of the terms and conditions of my work agreement whether or not one is signed.

Please Note This Summary Excerpt From Work Agreement:

I refuse the right of any prospect to name me to the court or opposing party as a witness in any case until I am retained. If I discover otherwise, I reserve the right to contact the judge directly to report “a fraud upon the court” contrary to the interests of justice, and to invite the judge to impose sanctions. I also reserve the right to testify for opposing counsel about the fraud, having no conflict of interest, since I was never retained by the defrauder.

Payment of advance retainer and/or designation as an expert constitutes acceptance of my work agreement and is fully earned-when retained-and not an estimate of the work to be performed irrespective of any awards, settlements or discontinuance of the subject litigation. Prices and terms subject to change at any time. We reserve the right to withdraw at any point and time for any reason without liability from the case.
