This firm handles only a limited number of cases and routinely turns away work when we feel we are at capacity. This commitment to you may require that we turn away other clients who request our services. For example, we may have to turn down other clients because of the time we expect to spend on you matter or because of conflicts of interest that may arise during or after our representation of you. Although you may be entitled to a refund if we are not available to represent you as promised, this portion of our fee may be earned even if we have not yet completed any work on your case at the time our representation ends. You have the right to terminate the client-lawyer relationship, and you will be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the fee if the agreed upon legal services are not provided. The attorney fee will be the same regardless of the outcome of the case.
Our attorney fees are computed at an hourly rate of $250.00 per hour for our Senior Attorney and $250.00 per hour for our Associate Attorneys, charged in increments of a minimum of one-tenth of an hour. This hourly rate is subject to change with a 30 day written notice from our office. In addition, this hourly rate is based on our experience in handling similar types of matters, the complexity of the case, and our assessment of the work that may be required. You will receive monthly bills setting forth the time we have spent on your matter and the fees billed.
Any additional attorney fees that arise due to unforeseen circumstances will be charged at a rate of $250.00 per hour for Senior Attorneys, $250.00 per hour for Associate Attorneys,
