Billing
Generally, the Firm bills matters based upon standard hourly rates determined by the professional's legal proficiency and years of experience.

The Firm bills only for actual professional services rendered while traveling by air. However, it bills, at half the regular hourly rate, for travel time by automobile, as such individual transportation precludes the professional from engaging in any representation.

Retainer Programs
It may be cost effective for a business to subscribe to the Firm's Retainer Programs. This Program allows the client to receive fifty percent additional professional services at no additional charge. Because some clients' legal needs are seasonal or episodic, the professional services may be used at any time during a quarter or as predetermined by mutual agreement with the client.

A Retainer arrangement, depending on the monthly fee, will cover a certain number of hours of work each month. Additional hours are charged at a slightly higher rate.

Billing for Trial Work
Billing for litigation depends on the suit's nature; and cannot be covered under the Retainer Program.

Staffing
Unless otherwise requested by a client, the designation of the professional to perform legal services is made by the Firm, based upon the degree of complexity of the legal issue or matter. It is the Firm's policy to assign representation to a professional with the requisite legal skills who will perform the services most effectively and cost efficiently for the client.

Where a matter is undertaken by a less experienced professional, oversight is provided, without charge to the client, by a senior attorney and counselor.

Contracting Professionals
The Firm can also retain the services, after consultation with the client, of other professionals (as warranted) for specific representation. This provides for both increased flexibility and reduced overhead to the benefit of the client.
