Problem: BODY: Hi Doug, I hear you are working on the Midway deal. Me, too. I want to go back to the restaurant you suggested with the remarkable decor and wine list (was it Burns, something like that?). I look forward to working with you on this one. Kay

A: SUBJECT: Midway

Problem: BODY: Everyone, Paul Flack called from the courthouse at 3:40. The Judge had taken a break, and they were to reconvene in a few minutes. Paul said it was going well, but would likely last for some time longer. Apparently there are around 50 lawyers in the court room. I will send you an email as soon as the hearing is concluded, or, if I receive another update from the courthouse, I will pass that along as well. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to call me if you need to.

Problem: BODY: Mike: We'd talked about getting together to discuss the bills for the case. We'd originally agreed to a flat fee of $13, 500 (if memory serves) with a bonus for coming in under the cap. You've sent me bills (as of August 17 according to my records) for over $25,000. As you recall, we had a very lengthy discussion regarding the magnitude of the work associated with the hearings and associated briefs. I stressed that $13.5 was what I'd spend and that we'd have to do the best we could within that constraint, which is why I pressed for a flat fee arrangement at the outset. With that in mind, I believe that it's important to honor the arrangement. However, in light of the particular circumstances in this case, I'm willing to exceed the previous arrangement for a total of $15,000, but can't go above that. If you'd like to discuss it further, I'd be happy to talk about it. Let me know. Best,
