Knowledge, Training and Experience

Our professional services are billed at a rate of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per hour plus all expenses except those related to deposition testimony or trial attendance and testimony which is billed at Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($350.00) per hour plus expenses. Unless discussed and otherwise agreed to, an initial retainer of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) is required before scheduling or beginning any professional service, and all services performed will be billed against the retainer received.  Approval will be obtained before exceeding a retainer. Matters will be invoiced monthly, and outstanding approved work must be paid within 60 days of receipt. If unpaid, all work on a matter will cease until payment is received.

A minimum of eight (8) hours will be accepted by the client for each day on which either deposition or trial testimony is scheduled or given, regardless of the actual time. As no other work can be scheduled simultaneously, that time will be spent and charged in preparation for giving testimony.  Notwithstanding the outcome of any litigation, all fees, costs, and expenses will be paid in full before a report is issued or deposition or trial testimony actually occurs.  

Submission of a client's initial matter materials or receipt of a retainer will confirm the client's acceptance of these terms. It shall confirm that FireLogix will have a conflict of interest with other interested parties in the same matter.  The work and its product belong to the client, not FireLogix. Accordingly, FireLogix shall not disclose or communicate any information regarding the matter to another party except at the client's direction or as required by a legal order.
