Your retaining Harris & Moure to provide you legal services constitutes your acceptance of the terms set forth below.

CASE STAFFING
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.

FEES
We base our 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 Northwest based on the lawyers' experience and expertise. We may modify our rates from time to time without notice. A statement of rates is available at any time upon request.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Harris & Moure, pllc, 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, foreign attorney fees, deposition and transcript fees, consulting or expert witness fees and expenses, long distance telephone charges, photocopying, computerized legal research, travel expenses, messenger services, and other similar costs. Although out-of-pocket expenses are your responsibility and we assume no liability for payment, Harris & Moure, pllc, may act on your behalf by advancing payment to third parties if your account is current. We will consult with you before making any commitments for substantial expenses.

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

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

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
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.

TERMINATION OF SERVICES
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.

OUR FILE RETENTION POLICY
When we complete our 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.
