Galloway & Lyndall, LLP
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will I have a contract with Galloway & Lyndall for the provision of legal services?
A: Yes.
Once you have decided to engage our firm, and after an initial review of your
matter by
our
attorneys, we will send you a representation agreement for your review and signature.
If
acceptable,
we will ask you to sign the agreement and return it to us, in most instances
with a
retainer,
prior to the provision of legal services. Until that time, no attorney-client
relationship
will have been established with Galloway & Lyndall.
Q: How will I be billed for legal services?
A:
Unless alternate arrangements are made in advance, our lawyers bill by the hour
for legal
services
rendered. Bills are mailed at the beginning of each month for services
performed the
previous
month. If a retainer has been provided, we will deduct our fees from
available
retainer
funds. We reserve the right to request additional retainer funds when
initial retainer
funds are
exhausted.
Q: Can I recover my attorneys' fees?
A:
Generally no. Unless there is a controlling statute or contract provision
which expressly
authorizes
the recovery of attorneys' fees, you should expect to have to bear your own
attorneys'
fees. To the extent your fees are recoverable, we will endeavor to do so
for you.
