Are costs and expenses included in the upfront retainer and hourly fees?
No. All costs and expenses associated with our Personal Counsel Services are separate and apart from our legal fees. Costs and expenses, such as travel expenses, are billed to the client directly for payment with in ten (10) business days of receipt of our bill. Rest assured, if we have to travel for a client, we do not book first class tickets, stay at 5 star hotels, or rent high end cars, unless there is no other option. This typically only occurs when we are given short notice of out-of-state activities that a client wants us to attend. We understand these costs are being paid directly by our clients and as such, we do everything in our power to keep those costs reasonable. When we do travel for our clients we do not seek reimbursement for meals, as we would have to eat regardless.
