We will provide you with a monthly statement of fees for legal services
and costs showing the fees and costs for each of the above matters . We
will expect these fees and costs to be paid upon presentation of the bill
unless some other arrangement has been made . Should the Department' s
outstanding balance become past due beyond Go days we reserve the right
to impose a service charge of 1 . S0 per month upon the unpaid balance .
If litigation should become necessary to collect an outstanding account,
attorney fees will be demanded. The Palm Springs Police Department may
discharge this firm from continuing to provide legal services upon thirty
(30) days written notice.
I appreciate the opportunity to represent the City of Palm Springs Police
Department as its legal advisor. If this letter correctly states
acceptable terms for our representation, please indicate your acceptance
by signing the enclosed copy and returning it in the envelope provided.
Very truly yours,
MAYER, COOBLE & PALMER
