Re: Agreement for Legal Services

In the Petition for Annulment of Marriage

Dear Mr. dela Cruz:

We confirm that you have retained us to perform the following legal services on your behalf:
1. Ordinary office consultations;
2. Rendition of legal advice and opinions;
3. Preparation and review of all pleading, affidavits, and all other documents;
4. Appearance in court in cases of litigation; and
5. Securing medical examination report as well as permits, licenses, or certification before
appropriate government agencies.

As our client, you will deice the general direction your matter will follow. We will not take major
steps without receiving your instructions. Final decisions will be yours with recommendations
coming from our firm. We can make no guarantees of the outcome, but we will give you the best
legal services we can.

We will establish an effective communication with you. Please call or make an appointment
whenever you need clarification on the actions we are taking. We will make reports on the
matter from time to time and send you copies of correspondence we send or receive and
documents we prepare. It is your responsibility to keep us informed of any change in your
mailing address of phone number.

We will maintain certain communications absolutely confidential, when you reveal information in
confidence to obtain legal advice or services.

Our fee will be ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (P100, 000.00) payable upon your
acceptance of this proposal and another FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P50,000.00) upon
rendition of the decision in the case. In addition, you shall also pay the following:
 1. The sum of ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED PESOS (P1,500.00) for every
appearance of our lawyers in court and/or conferences/meetings plus all out-of-
pocket expenses incurred in connection with the handling of the case;
2. Disbursements that we make to third parties to carry your matter forward i.e. charges
for long distance telephone and fax, courier, travel, process service, searches,
transcripts, certificates; and
3. Other charges for non-legal services. We will bill you only for photocopying. All other
items will be supplied as part of our fee.

Please call if you have any question about these charges. We want you to have a full
understanding of the basis of the charges for our non-legal services.

To keep you informed and to allow us to continue to carry on business while the matter
proceeds, we will send you a monthly interim bill and a final bill when your matter is completed.
All bills, including interim bills, are due when rendered.

We sincerely hope that neither of us will find it necessary to end our relationship early. However,
if either of us decides to end our relationship, we will expect you to pay all outstanding bills
before we release your file. Final accounting covering all fees, charges, and disbursements shall
be made. Please call if you have any question on terminating our services.

If the foregoing terms and conditions are acceptable to you, kindly indicate your conformity by
signing on the space indicated below and retuning to us a sighed copy of this letter.

Yours sincerely,

Atty. Maria Reyes

For the Firm

I have read and agreed to the terms of this retainer letter.
