* Hourly services provided at client premises are rounded upward to the nearest 15 minute interval subject to a one-hour minimum which also carries a 50% first-hour surcharge to cover travel, mileage, and parking. Administrative, clerical, and settle-in interactions do not count toward hourly rates.
* I do not purport to render legal advice. I am an academic researcher with a doctoral degree. This qualifies me to conduct academic research and to opine expertly in an academuc context. Opinions and interpretations that I might express—even to the extent that they discuss legal issues—are academic and do not constitute legal advice. I do not offer any legal services of any kind to private individuals.
