LEGAL CONSULTATION AND SERVICES CONTRACT
This contract is entered into this 10th day of January, 2024, between the Law Offices of LUKE
CHARLES LIROT, P.A., and CITY OF CLEARWATER (collectively known as the "client").
1. TYPE OF CASE: MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT
City of Clearwater v. Nicholas Bosstick; Case No.: 23 -11058 -MO et seq. (See Exhibit
"A„)
The firm will represent the City of Clearwater in all aspects related to the enforcement of Ordinance
Section 28.10, Subsection 1.12 involving Nicholas Bosstick.
2. ATTORNEY'S FEES: The Law Office of LUKE CHARLES LIROT, P.A. requests no
initial retainer for representation. Client understands that services will be rendered as
follows: Responding to Motion to Dismiss- $500 per hour to be capped at 4 hours. Trial
and other court appearances, $500 per hour, also capped at 4 hours for a max of 8 hours,
so Lirot agrees to "cap” the fees at $4K.
The fee reflects not simply the number of hours which individual lawyers may devote to
client's representation, but also the experience, reputation, skill and efficiency of the
attorneys, as well as the potential inability of the firm to accept other employment during
the pendency of the representation.
3. APPELLATE LEVEL PROCEEDING: If any appeals or extraordinary writs are taken up
with the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court by either party, either before or after trial,
additional fees will be involved. This fee agreement includes only proceedings prior at the trial
court level and does not include appellate matters.
4. CIVIL ACTIONS, CRIMINAL ACTIONS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS: This does not
represent an agreement for any other proceeding, including civil actions, criminal actions, or other
proceedings. A separate agreement will then be negotiated for that representation, if required.
5. COSTS AND EXPENSES: Costs and expenses arc in addition to attorney's fees. It is
agreed that if any costs must be advanced by the attorney, these costs will be billed to you. All
expenses must be brought up to date before trial and such other times set by the attorney.
6. COLLECTION: If it is necessary to institute collection or any action to enforce this

Initials
agreement, costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, will be payable to the attorneys
in addition to all amounts for fees, costs and expenses previously described.
7. WITHDRAWAL: In the event that the client fails and refuses to pay the amounts due and
owing and fails to make satisfactory payment arrangements within ten (10) days from receipt of
the client's bill for services or expenses, the client agrees to the attorney's withdrawal as attorney
of record, and agrees to any imposition of liens.
The attorney may also withdraw from this representation and terminate this agreement at any
time if the client, in the opinion of the attorney:
a. insists upon presenting a claim or defense which is not warranted under existing
law and cannot be supported by good faith argument, extension, modification, or
reversal of existing law;
b. personally seeks to pursue an illegal course of conduct;
c. insists the attorney pursue a course of conduct that is illegal or prohibited by the
rules or the standards of the conduct of The Florida Bar or other applicable
standards; or
d. fails to cooperate with or assist that attorney on any material matter when requested
by the attorney to do so.
8. DISCHARGE: The client may discharge the attorneys and terminate this contract at any
time. The client agrees that the attorney shall be entitled to full fees plus any costs advanced and
expense incurred in this representation, all of which shall be due and payable by the client at such
time of the termination.
9. GENERAL: The client understands that the results of trial, appeals, and hearings cannot
be guaranteed, and that no guarantees are made.
