RETAINER & FEES
Let's talk! I encourage you to call to initially discuss the case. I am happy to confidentially discuss the general circumstances of the case, or my experience and qualifications at no charge. If I am unable to be of benefit, or choose to decline the case, I will be happy to refer you to another appropriate expert, or to other listings and publications of experts that will best assist you in your search. Please understand that I accept only a limited number of active cases so that I might devote the necessary time that best benefits your client.
Should you choose to retain my services, I require a $1,500.00 retainer. Research, review, and consultation is billed at $175.00 per hour. Deposition and/or Trial time is billed at $250.00 per hour with a $500.00 minimum.
Travel time is billed at $50.00 per hour from port to port.
Incidental expenses are billed for actual costs with appropriate receipt documentation.
Experience has shown that the typical case takes 16-24 hours, excluding travel and Court time.
It is understood that I am retained by the Attorney, not the client unless there is a specific agreement otherwise. Therefore, the retaining Attorney is responsible for payment which is expected upon receipt of an itemized invoice.
I do not use a written contract for services unless the Attorney requests such a contract.
