Neal: thanks. glad you were able to get the larger accomodations. Our door is always open to you if you ever need to revisit the space issue.

What about following up on our discussion re adding a button (or language) on our websites to generate cases?

I can send you some copy for FTCA and PI cases and you can send me copy regarding the cases you would most likely to pursue.

We have a Military Law portion of our website I can grow. Eric mentioned some compensation/benefit cases he would like to pursue and if he could send me the lanaguage I can include it. Of course, before either of us inserted the final copy, we would check with each other to be sure it is accurate.

Also, once this is in place, we can discuss sharing fees along the lines we discussed. The client's have to approve the relationship in writing. There are probably many cases that each firm can simply refer to the other without referral fees. For example, if the fee generated is not substantial, a referral fee becomes an impediment. However, on cases where the fee will be substantial, it makes sense to collaborate.

Finally, I like your idea of utilizing your litigation expertise, especially in Va courts where we may need litigation help. As I indicated at lunch, that office is really heating up and will generate lots of litigation. Best, Ron

Ron and Jeff,
Really enjoyed catching up with you both yesterday. Turned out to be less work and hassle to move to a larger office in the Executive Offices we've got for Eric and Kenneth now. But we really appreciate your willingness to accommodate.

We can definitely collaborate. If you ever need litigators, we could beat up your trial guys without even working up a sweat. Not because we're smarter, just because we've probably got ten times the experience. So call us if you need a hand when things go to court. ;-)

V/r,

Neal

Neal: Thanks again for lunch. We can make a windowed office available for Eric by May 1st.   I would have to move the person there to a cubicle.   (To make this happen I would have to get two portable cubicles in place, one for our clerk and one for Eric's assistant).

You would have use of the conf. room and our copy machines, etc. at 5 cents a page. We could then take a deep breath and see if more space for you is viable, but at least you would be covered by May 1st.    We thought a monthly rental of $1000 would be fair (the other tenant with a larger office is paying $1500). Let me have your thoughts.

I am going out of town tomorrow at noon and will be back on Monday afternoon. If you want to do this, let me know so that we can make arrangements to get the cubicles in place. In any event, regardless of the space situation, we should actively move to collaborating on cases. Best, Ron

Yours sincerely,
