Dear Ibrahim, We advanced you three payments of $2040.00, paid on 9/22/10; $3000.00 paid on 1/18/11; and $2391.70 paid on 2/2/11, for a total of $7431.70 . The case manager notified me that the judge cut some of your fees for the time you waited to testify. They did the same thing with me when I was waiting for the verdict. The difference between your claim ($14,631.70) and what you were paid ($12,092.80) is $2538.90. They specifically denied your rental car claim because their position is that you could have stayed downtown. I recall asking you to stay in Dearborn because it was more convenient for me. Your rental car costs were $618.62. I have decided to pick up those costs since you rented the car based on information I provided you. I subtracted the amount of the rental car from the amount we advanced you and came up with $6813.08. If you would please send us a check in that amount made out to “Puckett and Faraj, PC” to our Virginia address: Puckett and Faraj PC 1800 Diagonal Road Suite 210 Alexandria, VA 22314 Thank you for your help on this case. I look forward to connecting with you soon, perhaps next month when I’ll be in CA for most of the month. Best to you Haytham Hi Haytham, The check was for $12,092.80. Let me know if you need me to send you a scanned copy of the check.

But I also know you did not receive all you are entitled to. The court reduced the amount I submitted on your behalf. Let me know what they sent you and I'll calculate the amount you owe us. I hope all's well with you Hi Haytham, yes, the check arrived a week ago.
This is the email which I found that discusses the refund to you. Please look at the forwarded email below. This is the amount I found below: "Of that amount we are entitled to $2391.70". I just wanted to confirm this is correct, and whether I should send a check to the DC or Detroit office? Ibrahim ---------- Forwarded message ----------

Dear Ibrahim, I discovered yesterday that I had been handling paying you incorrectly. I was required to have you complete a form called a CJA 21 that would allow you submit directly to the court for compensation. I had assumed that we would be reimbursed if we present invoices for payments. That was wrong. I need to resubmit your fees and expenses. I had Mariam fill out the forms for you. I am attaching them to this email. I need you to review and sign them. I will then take them to the accounting department here and submit them for you. I request that once you get paid you refund the payment we made to you. Those will be a payment of $3000 and a payment of $2040. Your final payment for the trial work is going to be $8,841.70. Of that amount we are entitled to $2391.70 for expenses that we paid you on February 2, 2011. Please sign and date the forms I have attached here and return them to me. Thank you Haytham Faraj, Esq.
