Engagement Agreement

This Engagement Agreement (“Agreement”) is intended to formalize your engagement of Bronston Legal PC (“Firm”, “we” or “us”) as required by the bar. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which we will provide legal services and representation to you and supersedes any and all previous correspondence, discussions and agreements regarding your engagement of the Firm. We greatly appreciate your confidence and look forward to working with you.

1. Scope. We have agreed to advise and represent you as counsel and will perform such legal services as you request from time to time.

2. Rates. Our attorneys will provide you with the requested services at the following rates:

a. We will prepare and file the requested 214 application for you for a flat fee of $1500.
b. We require reimbursement of the filing fee charged by the FCC for the 214 application in the amount of $920.
c. Our attorneys will provide any other requested legal services to you at a blended rate of $515/hour (which may be revised at any time upon prior written notice).

3. Charges. The total fees charged to you in our monthly invoices will be determined by calculating amount of time spent by our lawyers during the applicable month and multiplying same by the appropriate hourly rate(s). Any time spent in initial consultations will become billable upon engagement. As you might expect, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) for us to determine in advance the amount of time that will be required to complete any given project, largely due to factors outside of our control. Unless specifically described herein, no firm estimate of the charges you will be billed has been made or will be made. We will certainly make every effort to do the work as expeditiously as possible. Please keep in mind, however, that we will bill you for any time we spend in providing services to you, including preparing documents, participating in telephone conferences, responding to questions or concerns, reviewing and revising documents, corresponding with you and others via email, etc. In addition, we have no control over the position taken by other parties with whom you ask us to help you negotiate contracts, transactions and/or disputes so please be aware that such negotiations may very well take substantially more time than you anticipate. Finally, we respectfully advise you that it is your responsibility to keep track of the work that you ask us to perform so that you are not surprised by the time we’ve spent and the charges we’ve generated when we render our invoice to you at the end of each month.

4. Retainer. Our standard practice is to require a retainer deposit from all new clients. The deposit we require in order to commence the requested representation is $2,420.00. Please note that the foregoing amount is not a quote or estimate of the charges you will incur – it is merely the amount that we are requiring to commence the requested representation. We will place the deposit in our trust account and will draw against it on a monthly basis to pay ourselves for accrued charges. When and if the deposit has been depleted, we will bill you monthly for our charges as described below. As the initial deposit is depleted, we may ask for additional deposit(s) in the future until the work we are performing on your behalf is completed and all charges have been paid in full. You understand that if additional deposits are requested, we will suspend work until they are received.

5. Billing. We will bill you monthly for legal fees and out-of-pocket costs and will provide you with a detailed description of those fees and costs. Our work is billed in one-tenth of an hour increments. As a result, any chargeable item typically lasts at least six (6) minutes. Payment will be due upon receipt. In the event that any monthly statement is not paid within thirty (30) days of its date, interest at the annual rate of 10% will accrue on the amount due until paid. In no event, however, may this rate ever exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. In addition, if bills are not paid on a timely basis, the Firm has the right to cease work and withdraw from any further representation in accordance with applicable rules of professional conduct.

6. Compliance with Audit Requests, Subpoenas and Other Requests. From time to time, we may be required to respond to other requests for information or documents about you or our work for you. Such requests may come from you or your auditors. They may also come from third parties through a subpoena or other legal process to which we are required to respond. We will bill you for any time spent or costs incurred responding to such requests or demands in connection with any matters we handle for you.

7. Application of these Terms. This Agreement will govern our relationship with you even if you do not sign and return a copy of the Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement signed by the Firm and by you.

8. Attorney’s Fees. In any action by us against you for collection of any charges due, we will be entitled to recover our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and costs of collection.

9. Termination. We have the right to withdraw as your attorneys at any time in the event of your non-cooperation or non-payment, or other such valid cause, and you are at liberty to terminate this arrangement at any time you desire. Upon termination you will be entitled to the immediate return of all funds in our trust account less accrued charges as of the date of the termination. We will retain your legal files for a period of 1 year after we close our file. At the expiration of the 1-year period, we will destroy these files unless you notify us in writing that you wish to take possession of them. We reserve the right to charge administrative fees and costs associated with researching, retrieving, copying and delivering such files.

10. Governing Law and Venue. The representation and relationship between this firm and you shall be governed by, and substantially performed and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to the choice of law rules for that state, except to the extent that any such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law. You consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court within the State of Texas, submit to venue in the State of Texas, and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by the law of the State of Texas or applicable Federal law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise in such suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that (i) you are not subject to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of Texas or the United States District Courts for the State of Texas; (ii) such suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (iii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper.
