Dear Owen:
Thank you for choosing Bolves Law Group, PLLC to serve as counsel for the above-
named matter. This will serve as a proposal of the terms under which our firm will provide legal
services to you regarding the above. This letter is intended to briefly explain our billing practices
and procedures.
Our fees will be based upon the ethical rules governing our practice. The amount of our
statement will be the fair value of the services provided taking into account the time spent by the
lawyers involved, the type of service we are being asked to perform, any special level of
expertise required, the size and scope of the matter, the results obtained, and other relevant
considerations.
The hourly attorney rate charged will be $300.00/hour for Senior attorneys, and
$125.00/hour for Paralegals. Other lawyers, law clerks, and legal assistants of our firm may
participate in the representation to the appropriate extent. Our fees for these matters under this
supplemental retainer agreement will not exceed $75,000.00.
It is our policy to provide you with the most effective support systems available, while at
the same time allocating the costs of such systems in accordance with the usage of the services
by individual clients. Therefore, in addition to our fees for legal services, we also charge
separately for certain costs and expense disbursements, including messenger, courier, and other
communication costs; long-distance telephone; document reproduction; and computer research
facilities. These items will be billed at cost. Large disbursement billings may be forwarded by us
to you for direct payment by you to the supplier.

Our billing statements to you will be rendered on a monthly basis and are due and
payable upon receipt. We will make every effort to include disbursements in the statement for
the month in which the disbursements are incurred. Some disbursements are not available to us
until the following month in which case a supplemental statement will be rendered for these
additional charges.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you now and in the future. Our goal is
to provide legal services to you on the most cost-effective basis possible. if at any time you wish
to either discuss our billing policies and procedures generally, or a particular statement
specifically, we encourage you to contact us.
Please indicate your understanding of the agreement to the above-described engagement

me should you have any questions or comments.
