The undersigned, ____________________, (hereinafter known as Client) hereby requests the legal services of John E Tresslar, P.C. for representation concerning a legal claim against the government of the United States of America in Federal District Court. Client agrees that his/her claim will be part of a group claim presented in court.
Legal services will be billed on an hourly basis, with time being charged in tenths of an hour, at the rate of $250.00 per hour. Clients agree to pay as a group a nonrefundable deposit of $10,000.00 to be charged against fees and costs and expenses.
Attorney will use his discretion in staffing, to provide services in the most economical manner possible. Please note that all time spent on your behalf in this matter, including time spent in telephone conversations, will be charged to you. The initials of the person performing the services will be noted on the invoice.
In addition to fees for legal services, Attorney will be entitled to payment or reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred for services, including but not limited to: photocopying, messenger and delivery service, fees for computerized research services, travel (including mileage, parking, air fare, lodging, meals and ground transportation), long distance telephone, telecopying, depositions, court costs and filing fees. Client agrees that Client is responsible for such expenses relating to this case. Depending upon the type of case you have, expenses may also include, but are not limited to: charges for medical examinations and reports, the cost of accident and credit reports, hospital records and pictures. Attorney is hereby authorized to charge such expenses and have such expenses billed to Client and Client agrees to pay them promptly. Unless other arrangements are made at the outset, fees and expenses of others will not be paid by Attorney and will be the responsibility of and billed directly to the Client.

Invoices for legal services rendered and costs advanced or incurred are issued on a monthly basis and are payable upon receipt. In the event that an invoice is not paid in full within 30 days of the date of the invoice, it will be presumed and admissible in court that Client has consented to the withdrawal of this attorney from any further representation in court.
Attorney reserves the right to withdraw from representation if, among other things, Client fails to cooperate or follow Attorney's advice on a material matter, or if any fact or circumstance arises or is discovered that would, in Attorney's view, render our continuing representation unlawful or unethical.
The outcome of negotiations and litigation is subject to factors which cannot always be foreseen; therefore, it is understood that Attorney has made no promises or guarantees to Client concerning the outcome of this representation and cannot do so. Nothing herein shall be construed as such a promise or guarantee.
Attorney will maintain Client's file for two years after this matter is concluded. Client may request the file at any time during, upon conclusion of, or after conclusion of, this matter. Two years after the conclusion of this matter, the file may be destroyed without further notice to client.
This FEE AGREEMENT pertains only to legal services rendered and costs and expenses for the matter expressly stated above. It does not relate to any other matter for which Client seeks representation by Attorney. Any other matter will require a separate FEE AGREEMENT. This contract is only valid if it contains the original signature of John E Tresslar.
