This is what I have on my computer. It’s not signed by them but I remember it was agreed to by them so They’re familiar with the terms.  As you can see they only paid $2500 initially and this is an hourly contract at $350 an hour.  They should immediately deposit another $3000 to cover attorney fees and expenses. The hearing is November.
 
I’ll check my paper files for a signed agreement.

 I do not have a signed copy of the current contract with Burden.  It does not give a fee only a fee advance request; there is not a quote of $5500 or a cap.  You are confusing this case with Wilridge's 3d contract.  Draft FA at the bottom of this Email.
 
I would prefer you go flat fee for the rest of this or call it a day right now.  I cannot find all the data needed to do accurate billing.  
 
Here is the draft FA I have on this case dated 1 September 2008.  Do you have a copy with the Client signature?   Is this the current contract?  It is dated 2008.

Did they pay a full $5500?  I believe that was our agreement but that it would be hourly.  I prefer to stick with the original contract of hourly work.

H, Burden has no money in the account.  Recommend instead of billing the hours and expenses totaling $460.54 you call Mrs Burden and agree on a flat fee for the hearing on 29 November.  Please Advise.
