The percentage of fee indicated is contingent upon there being a recovery whether by settlement, verdict or otherwise. The attorney fee is to be computed upon the gross amount of the recovery. Expenses, if any, are also the client's responsibility.

If there is no recovery, the client is not responsible for any expenses, except those otherwise agreed upon. In addition to the above fees, unless otherwise agreed upon, clients are also responsible for all reasonable and necessary expenses, included but not limited to: filing fees, record acquisition fees, postage, copy, fax, long-distance telephone, overnight mail, messenger, research fees, court reporter, private investigator, photographer, other professional fees, such as accounting, medical expert, etc., travel and meal expenses, and other miscellaneous costs.

Bills are generally rendered monthly, requesting payment of fees plus reimbursement for costs incurred.

All bills are payable upon presentation and are considered delinquent if not paid within 30 days of issuance. If a bill is not timely paid, the attorney may cease to render further services, or in the case of litigation matters the attorney may petition the court to withdraw as counsel. An interest charge of 1% per month may be added to the unpaid portion of the delinquent bill.

It is the law firm's practice unless otherwise agreed upon, to require clients to pay 50% of the total fee in advance along with an amount to cover the filing fee, if any, and an estimated amount towards other expenses. The remaining 50% is due on or before completion of legal services.

Currently, the legal hourly rate is $150. For cases in which no set fee is agreed upon, the client will be billed on an hourly rate. In such an event, it is the law firm's policy to require clients to make retainer payments which are credited against fees and costs to be incurred. If the representation is concluded before the retainer is exhausted, the law firm will either retain the remaining balance as a credit against future services or refund the balance, as you elect.

The legal fees quoted above are valid for a period of 90 days from _______________, and are subject to change thereafter.
