However, sometimes there are complicating factors in a prospective client's situation that may require an in-person consultation before an estimate of fees and expenses can be provided. Some types of expenses are billed at fixed rates. Round-trip mileage is billed at 30 per mile. Substantial photocopying jobs are billed at 10 per copy. Sometimes our clients are responsible for paying particular expenses directly rather than reimbursing us after we have paid.
All bills are due and payable in full upon receipt by the client.
Fees in matters handled on a contingent basis are not due or billed until money or property is recovered for the client. However, sometimes a client may be billed earlier for expenses advanced. We will endeavor to respond promptly but will not provide specific legal advice by email except to established clients. Please see our Notices and Disclaimers .
