This is a sample of the contract that must be signed by the client prior to beginning an investigation on their behalf.
CLUGSTON
POLYGRAPH & INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES
ROY
L. CLUGSTON, JR.
CHIEF
INVESTIGATOR
This
correspondence shall serve to confirm our understanding of the terms of
our employment. It is necessary that we complete a fee agreement contract
so there will be no misunderstanding.
This agreement will become effective when I receive a signed copy
of this letter and the payment of the retainer fee quoted.
As
compensation for representation, my office will receive a fee based on
$75.00 an hour. I bill on a quarter
of an hour basis. If in the future it is necessary for me to increase my
rates, you will of course receive notice prior to the effective date of
any such increase.
You
agree to deposit with me a refundable retainer of $__________ to be
applied toward my fees and expenses.
Client acknowledges that this amount shall
constitute the minimum fee to be charged in this case and that the
retainer is refundable when charges do not exceed the retainer amount.
Investigator shall bill against the retainer at a rate of $75.00 per hour.
In the event that your credit balance reaches an amount of $150.00 and the
case is not concluded you will be required to replenish your account with
my office in any amount of $600.00. If and when the retainer is exhausted,
you further acknowledge that you shall pay the additional sum of $75.00
per hour for all of the work performed by me. You agree that my invoice
will be promptly paid.
This
agreement may be terminated by either party with or without reason or
cause upon ten (10) days
notice. In the event of termination, the Investigator shall be paid his
reasonable compensation and fees for services performed to termination
date, reimbursable expenses then expended or incurred, and any expenses
necessary to terminate the employment. The client agrees that non-payment
of any due fees or expenses, and failure to timely communicate is grounds
for investigator to terminate this agreement.
Please be assured that I will always diligently and faithfully
pursue your legal objectives to the best of my ability. As you can
appreciate, however, this firm obviously cannot and does not guarantee
that the result I achieve will be the result you may desire.
It
is expressly understood and you agree that payment of my fee is not
contingent upon reaching a particular result, but payment is to be made
regularly in the manner set forth above.
I
appreciate the opportunity to be of service and look forward to working
with you. If at any time you have questions or comments regarding your
case or any of my statements for services rendered, please feel free to
call me.
Sincerely,
Roy
L. Clugston, Jr.
