Fee for Representation. Our billing practice is to charge for our services based on the hourly rate of the attorney involved. We bill in increments of no less than 1/10 of one hour. Please note, we bill for all services our office provides, including but not limited to: correspondence, telephone calls, document preparation, legal research, electronic legal research, inter-office conference, depositions, trials, meetings, etc. We use the amount of time devoted to a matter by a particular attorney at that attorney's hourly rate. These hourly rates are based upon experience, expertise and standing. In addition, we try to use associate, paralegal, legal assistant and/or secretarial support on projects whenever possible. All hourly rates are reviewed from time to time and may be adjusted and/or increased without notice. It is likely that all of these hourly rates will be increased annually usually commencing at the beginning of each calendar year and you hereby consent to such increase. My hourly rate is $475/hour. Our firm’s rates for staff range from $75 - $275/hour, and for partners from $350 - $550/hour. The detail and the monthly statement will inform you not only of the fees and disbursements incurred but also of the nature and progress of the work performed. These statements are due and payable upon receipt, but in any event, no later than thirty days thereafter. {00160416.1 } We reserve the right to charge interest at an appropriate rate (currently l% per month) calculated monthly starting forty-five days after issuance of the statement and continuing until fully paid. You will be sent monthly billing statements as to work performed. We generally bill clients on either the 1st or 15th of the month. If you have a preference as to when you receive a bill, please let me know. We do our best to see that our clients are satisfied not only with our services but also with the reasonableness of the fees and disbursements charged for these services. Therefore, if you have any questions about or objection to a statement or the basis for our fees to you, you should raise it promptly and not more than thirty (30) days after you receive a bill for discussion. If you object only to a portion of the statement, we ask you pay the remainder, which will not constitute a waiver of your objections.
