Re: Engagement as Interim Town Attorney
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Daniel P. Harvey
Ruthanne M. Goff
Evin B. King
Robert C. Huss
The purpose of this letter is to confirm our engagement as interim Town Attorney for the
Town of Avon. In establishing a relationship with a new client, we believe it is good practice to
confirm the scope of our representation and other terms of our engagement.
I will perform and coordinate the services we perform for the Town. In connection with
my representation of the Town, I may use my firm's associates, paralegals and legal assistants. I
have enclosed with this letter my resume and the firm resume.
The ethics of our profession mandate that upon commencement of representation of a client
on a legal matter, clients understand and agree with the financial commitments involved. We
calculate fees based on hourly rates for the time spent by the respective attorneys involved. Our
hourly rate for attorneys is $225, and for paralegal work, we charge $100 per hour. In addition,
we will bill the following out-of-pocket expenses (to the extent they are incurred): messenger
services for delivering or picking up documents, computer assisted research, filing fees, witness
and court reporter fees, and charges for copies and postage. We typically send bills by the 5th day
of each month, and expect payment by the end of that month.
Either party may terminate this engagement at any time. Should our firm wish to terminate
this engagement, we will provide the Town with at least 30 days prior written notice.

Finally, at any time after seven years following the conclusion of this engagement we will
destroy all files and documents related to this engagement, without notice to you unless prior to
that time you request, in writing, the return of the files and documents.

If anything I have stated in this letter presents a problem or is unclear, please advise me
promptly so that we may discuss it and reach a full understanding. Otherwise, please execute a
copy of this engagement agreement and return it to me at your earliest convenience.
