Billing <br />Kelly & Lemmons normally bills the time of its professional staff in quarter -hour <br />increments. Our firm uses the TABS -3 practice management system, which tracks time <br />and generates bills to all clients which state the date services were performed, the <br />attorney or staff providing the services, a description of each item and the time spent. <br />Our bills normally come in the following format: <br />Date Attorney Time Billed Description Item Amount <br />In addition, we routinely create separate billing files for categories of work or significant <br />projects at the client's request. For prosecution, we have provided our clients with a full <br />accounting of attorney and staff "billing" even when working under flat monthly retainer <br />arrangements. <br />Costs and Expenses <br />It is the policy of Kelly & Lemmons to bill separately for reimbursement of out -of- pocket <br />expenses, whether a flat retainer fee or hourly billing structure is utilized. These costs <br />and expenses will be billed using a narrative description of the event justifying the <br />expense incurred to the appropriate case. Frequent costs include, but are not limited to: <br />Photocopies: <br />Facsimile: <br />Long Distance: <br />Service of Process: <br />Postage: <br />Mileage: <br />$.20 per page. <br />$1.00 per page. <br />As incurred. <br />charge from provider. <br />postage rates in effect <br />IRS standard mileage rates in effect (now $.505 /mile) <br />(note: Kelly & Lemmons does not charge for attorney travel time) <br />
