| Keith, I Spent 3.3 hours this morning reviewing all documentation received from you. Other than completing your BOI process, (which you told me your detailed defense counsel is doing), I do not believe our firm can be of any further assistance to you, based on my reading of the file. Therefore I am terminating my representation effective immediately, to prevent you from incurring additional costs. As I mentioned on the phone yesterday, we are also declining representation of you for your new business venture including any legal advice regarding its activities, primarily because it's a Florida-based business and we are not licensed in Florida. Although I have spent a total of 4.4 hours on your case, I will only bill you for the 1.1 hrs we spent on the phone yesterday, as a professional courtesy to a fellow Marine Officer. There will be no charge for reviewing the case file, though we do bill for all attorney work, including all time spent on file review. You will receive an accounting of this time spent on your case, along with a refund for the unused portion of the retainer you sent this week. That should be in the mail to you by tomorrow. We wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors. Semper fi, Neal Neal A.
