It is our aim to provide legal services at the most reasonable cost, consistent with professional competence. Additionally, the firm of Urban & Burt, Ltd. maintains a policy of discussing fees with each client at an initial conference. After a preliminary examination of the complexities and nature of each client's needs, if the client wishes representation, a written retainer agreement will be prepared setting forth the terms of representation and presented to the client for approval. Fee arrangements set forth in these retainer agreements consist of one or more of the following:
1. Hourly fee rate;
2. Flat fee (based on our expected time of completion in routine matters);
3. Contingent amount;
4. Special contingent-plus-bonus arrangements.
Except in contingent fee arrangements, clients will be billed monthly and payment within 10 days of presentation of the bill is expected unless other arrangements are made in advance. The fee policy of Urban & Burt, Ltd. is in strict compliance with the Illinois Code of Professional Responsibility as adopted by the Illinois Supreme Court.
