ENGAGEMENT LETTER/RETAINER AGREEMENT

Dear Ms. Glass:
Pursuant to our initial consultation, I want to present this engagement letter that defines the terms established for your case.
At this time, I want to thank you for the interest shown towards Bishop, Dickinson & Plath law firm. I also wish to set forth our agreement as to payment. I ask for a security retainer of $500 U.S. dollars. My firm will hold these funds in the Lawyer’s Trust Account until they are applied to future charges for services rendered. You will be billed approximately every month depending on the amount of work. The firm will refund any unused fees and there will be no charge for the initial consultation that we had. It is difficult to estimate the amount of time and expense that will be necessary to adequately represent you. I will advise you of any procedures that will substantially increase the amount of fees.
Our fees are: Senior Partner-$250 U.S. dollars per hour Junior Partner-$200 U.S. dollars per hour Associate (any level)-$125 U.S. dollars per hour Paralegal (any level)-$80 U.S. dollars per hour
The personnel assigned will be:
