Pfeiffer Gantt & Gleaton

Your retaining Pfeiffer Gantt & Gleaton to provide you legal services constitutes your acceptance of the terms set forth below.

 

We assign lawyers and other personnel to matters on the basis of experience, expertise, and the nature and scope of the issues.  This provides you with an appropriate level of expertise while minimizing costs.

 

We base on fees on a variety of factors, including, primarily, the time spent.  Other factors can include the difficulty of the matter involved; the experience and abilities of the lawyers, prior investment in developing files and data; the results obtained; and time limitations imposed by you or by the circumstances of the matter.  Hourly rates of our lawyers and legal assistants reflect fees generally charged in the Southeast based on the lawyer's experience and expertise.  We may modify our rates from time to time without notice.  A statement of rates is available at anytime upon request.

 

We may incur costs and expenses on your behalf that we will charge to you.  Examples of such expenses may include court filing fees, translator fees, deposition and transcript fees, consulting or expert witness fees and expenses, photocopying, travel expenses, messenger services, and other similar costs. Although out-of-pocket expenses are your responsibility and we assume no liability for payment, we may act on your behalf by advancing payment to other parties if your account is current.    We will consult with you before making any commitments for substantial expenses.

Attorneys are required by their ethical rules to maintain client confidences and we will always protect your right to privacy.

 

All fees and costs incurred on behalf of clients that are entitles, are personally guaranteed by the owners of the entity.

 

We add a late payment charge of 1% per month to accounts not paid within thirty days of invoicing.  We will cease providing legal services to any client with an outstanding balance of 60 days or more.  If we are required to bring suit to collect our fees and/or costs from you, the prevailing party in that suit will be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

 

We reserve the right to cease performing legal services and to terminate our representation of you for any reason consistent with the ethical rules, including for nonpayment of legal fees and expenses incurred on your behalf.  We may obtain a lien upon any of your documents in our possession and on the proceeds of any judgment or settlement entered in your favor to assure we receive payment in full.

 

When we complete your work on your matter, we will close our file and place it in storage.  We will then destroy the files unless you give us other disposition instructions at the time of opening the matter.

 

 

Changes in the law could at any time make parts of this web site obsolete.
