KRP Consulting — Fee Schedule 2010

RETAINERS: In most cases a retainer will be required when significant in office work will be likely. Those retainers will not be refundable. A monthly statement will be provided by e-mail attachment showing how the time was charged against the retainer for cases that will go beyond the initial retainer. It is expected that the retainers will be replenished as requested promptly. Missed appointments will be billed as per their agreed schedule. In other words if you make an appointment for a 2 hour meeting and fail to show, you will be billed for 2 hours. If you make an appointment for a consultation you will be billed for the day rate. If you are late billing starts at the time of the original appointment.

Initial phone consultations on general information up to 10 minutes will be free.

Detailed phone consults: $ 250.00 for the first 30 minutes or fraction, $ 200 for each 30 minutes or fraction thereafter. Payment must be in advance. Time estimates will be quoted.

Fees are payable by Cash, Money Order, Bank Check, Western Union, bank wire transfer only. Credit cards are no longer accepted by our office. Personal checks will NOT be accepted unless drawn on a local bank and funds are immediately available. In any case no work shall commence until funds are available. (Bank HOLD policies may delay provision of services.)

In every case the first $3,500 is automatically earned upon receipt for opening case file and review of materials.

BARTER FOR SERVICES: With the current state of the economy (US and world) this office will now accept certain limited forms of barter for services. The bartered services will be required in advance or simultaneously with services. This includes only MY time and services, not expenses or the fees of others with the team. Barter is limited to services I need at the time. Things will also be accepted. You would be required to supply parts and materials for the bartered services.

TRIALS: A flat fee can be negotiated for trials on an individual basis. The fees negotiated for a flat rate for a trial are made with a non refund provision. EXAMPLE: If we estimate and agree /that the trial should take 14 days including preparation and a discounted flat rate is agreed upon, and for any reason the trial only takes one day, the entire fee is considered earned. The contracts typically provide a provision that some buffer time is included if the trial goes over the estimated time, however after the maximum number of days an agreed upon per diem fee will be charged for additional days. Of course the client pays all expenses. Motel, meals and the like.

REFUND POLICY: All fees (EXCEPT retainers) are refundable up to four days prior to scheduled services. After that window there will be no refunds, however work shall be rescheduled for agreed upon other duties.
