No Muzzles

Once you decide to give that beast your money, they will do whatever it takes to keep it. That's why a fixed fee is always going to be the best option for you since you will only pay AFTER the representation has been settled and settled to your satisfaction. This is just one of the many possible elements that you may include in your Engagement Letter.

Without it, you will have a beast without a muzzle.
