Form No. 1: Hourly Litigation · Conditions (Par. 1) and Effective Date (Par. 17) Paragraph 1 (Conditions) and paragraph 17 (Effective Date) work together and outline various conditions which must be met before the fee agreement is binding on the parties. If the conditions are not met, the agreement may not take effect but the attorney may still be entitled to recover a reasonable fee. (Bus. & Prof. Code § 6148(a), 6148(c).) · Scope of Services and Attorney’s Duties (Par. 2) and Client’s Duties (Par. 3) The attorney should fill in a detailed description of the services to be provided.

There is also a recitation that the deposit is not an estimate of the total fees and costs to be charged. When the initial deposit is exhausted, the provision permits the attorney to require a further deposit and the attorney should fill in the amount. Finally, in the “Optional Clauses” document there is a provision for a “Replenishing Deposit” which permits the attorney to require the client replenish the deposit each month. · Legal Fees (Par. 5) Since Business and Professions Code section 6148(a)(1) requires the attorney to list hourly rates, the attorney should fill in the rates for each attorney and the attorney’s personnel. The provision also states that rates are subject to change on 30 days written notice to the client.
