Invoices are mailed each month to reflect case work, and payment is required within ten days after submission of invoice. Past due payments will incur a 5% monthly fee on unpaid balances, until paid in full. The retaining attorney is responsible for payment to Vector Group LLC, not the attorney’s client. All fees are billed portal to portal.

Testimony, to include depositions, trials and hearings require a minimum four (4) hour appearance fee. When opposing counsel requests a deposition, it will be the responsibility of opposing counsel to pay the appearance fee. This fee must be received five business days before the seating of the deposition. If fees are not received within the allotted time, Vector Group LLC, reserves the right to reschedule the deposition appearance until such time as payment is received. If  travel is required for the deposition, opposing counsel will be responsible for all additional expenses associated, unless otherwise agreed upon. Depositions or trials will not be scheduled on any past due accounts.

During trials, the day rate will be incorporated since the days will be blocked off of our calendar to eliminate scheduling conflicts.

The mere sharing of information with Vector Group LLC by client shall not obligate Vector Group LLC to client or prevent Vector Group LLC from contracting with other parties to the matter in the event that client elects not to
retain Vector Group LLC, including a signed agreement and retainer.
