| The
Initial Consulation |
Before
undertaking any representation, it is my practice to have
an
initial consultation with each prospective client for which
there is a charge of $500. The initial consultation generally
lasts in excess of one hour and provides me with an opportunity
to learn about your needs and concerns. Before the conclusion
of the consultation, I will provide you with my recommendation
of how you should address your employment issue(s), either
on
your own or with my assistance.

| Retention
After Consultation |
| After
the initial consultation and depending on the nature of the
matter, I can be retained to address your employment issues
in one of the following ways:
Hourly Retention
I can be retained on an hourly basis for all matters.
Modified Contingency
For severance negotiations, only, I represent clients on a
modified contingency basis. Under this retainer structure,
I receive a reduced hourly fee plus a percentage of the increase
in the total severance benefit offered to you after I have
been retained.
Under either retainer arrangement,
I require an initial retainer to be placed in escrow and applied
towards the hourly charges and expenses.

| Litigation
and Arbitration |
| In
the event that you need my services in connection with a litigation
or arbitration proceeding, I generally limit the retainer arrangement
to hourly, although in certain matters where I feel it is appropriate
I will consider a modified contingency arrangement. A larger
initial retainer is required before litigation or arbitration
work begins. |

and the client. |
