Case No. 80 00510 RMT (Kx)
Dear Mayor Ryckoff:
This will confirm that our firm has been requested to represent
the individually named defendants in the above - referenced lawsuit,.
namely, yourself, Ray Williams, Evelyn Hart, Paul Hummel, and Donald
Strauss.
We will undertake this task under the following fee arrange-
ment. Our fees will be based upon the time devoted to the matter
by each attorney of our firm multiplied by the then current hourly
rate for that attorney. Currently, our hourly rates range from
$70 to $125 per hour. The three attorneys who will be performing
the majority of the work on this case have current hourly rates
ranging from $70 to $95 per hour. Accordingly, we propose that our
fees be based on our normal hourly charges subject to the limitation
that the total fees will not exceed the total number of hours worked.
multiplied by $90 per hour. We would request that this limitation
be open to renegotiation on January 1, 1981. In addition to the
fees, there will be charges for direct out -of- pocket expense items
such as photocopying, long distance telephone, any extraordinary
secretarial services, messenger services, filing fees, etc. •Invoices
will be presented monthly.
It is our understanding that, inasmuch as the City will be
bearing these fees, a formal approval will be needed. Kindly advise
when that approval is obtained. In the meantime, because of the
