Mr. Matt Jordan <br />September 13, 2021 <br />Page 6 <br />per hour to $1,200 per hour for all legal services performed by the firm's attorneys, and our <br />hourly rates for paralegals, law clerks, planners or information specialists range from $42.50 to <br />$525 per hour. In addition, we charge $340 per hour for investigative services performed by an <br />in-house investigator. Our hourly rates take into consideration the individual's professional <br />background and other relevant factors. Our fees may be adjusted by additional amounts to <br />reflect the reasonable value of our services where objectively justified based upon: (a) the unique <br />or unusually complex nature of any particular matter handled, (b) any special expertise required, <br />(c) expedited time constraints and (d) other similar considerations. Any estimate we provided <br />may also be affected by these same circumstances. Our hourly rates are subject to change from <br />time to time. <br />Disbursements and Additional Charges. We will bill you for the direct costs and service charges <br />that are incurred for your particular matter(s), including such things as: filing fees, postage <br />(including regular, certified, registered or expedited mail, or any other type of delivery by <br />common carriers, such as UPS, Federal Express, or the like), courier services, imaging costs <br />(including scanning, photocopying and printing of documents), teleconferencing services, inter - <br />LATA or international calling tariffs, deposition costs, travel costs, and the fees and expenses of <br />experts or consultants, if needed. We charge for certain additional services we render, including <br />computerized database access and usage (e.g., Lexis, Westlaw, PACER, Dun & Bradstreet, and <br />other information databases), special word processing and after-hours or extraordinary secretarial <br />or accounting services, and the receipt and transmission of facsimiles. These matters will be <br />shown on each invoice. Certain cost items, described above, such as imaging costs, are provided <br />as in-house services by us and the per page non -color imaging charge ($0.15 per page) is based <br />upon a reasonable allocation of our overhead costs directly related to those services. Similarly, <br />our computerized database charges are based upon direct vendor access/ usage charges, which <br />can vary from time to time based upon monthly volume -of -usage discounts that the firm has <br />negotiated with various providers, and passes on to you as available. We are constantly striving <br />to maintain these charges at rates which are lower than those maintained by others in our <br />markets. <br />Monthly Billing. Except for disbursements paid from any Advance Fee Deposit described <br />above, we bill fees, disbursements and other services on a monthly basis and payment is due <br />within 15 days of receipt. If you make no comment about a statement within 15 days of its date, <br />we will assume that you have reviewed it and find it acceptable. <br />Interest on Late Payments; Collection Expenses. We will charge interest at the rate of 12% per <br />year on invoice amounts which are not paid within 30 days of the invoice date. If you fail to pay <br />any amount owing to the firm, you will also be responsible for all collection expenses incurred <br />by us, including costs and a reasonable attorney's fee, whether or not commencement of <br />litigation is required. <br />No Assignment. Because our relationship with you is personal in nature, it is agreed that our <br />duties to you and your resulting rights or claims shall not be assignable or assigned to another <br />person or entity and, unless we expressly agree otherwise in a writing signed by you and us, no <br />third party shall be or is considered as a beneficiary of our services for you. <br />
