You
are not permitted to associate Jan Leach or Janus Document Examination's names in your case until a retainer fee is paid.
Arrival of documents for examination at my office constitutes an agreement to
abide by this Fee Schedule, regardless of whether or not you sign it.
Retainer: A retainer of
$2000.00 is due in advance and is deemed to be earned upon receipt. Once the
retainer is rendered and accepted, Janus Document Examinaion (JDE) makes itself available to handle the
matter on Client’s behalf, and refuses employment by an adverse party;
therefore, the retainer is not refundable for any reason. JDE’s hourly rate is
$200.00. Any balance is due upon presentation of report and/or invoice. Cash,
Cashier’s Check, Postal Money Order or business check are acceptable forms of
payment.

one-way): Taken by any party to trial: $800 up to two hours. A deposit of $800
shall be paid at least 5 business days in advance of a scheduled deposition.

conclusion of the deposition. If the deposition is cancelled within 24 hours, the deposit shall
be refunded. Expenses (including but not limited to travel, parking, meals, etc.) are additional and paid by Client. Travel is $100/hour, portal-to-portal. In
