We accept payment by wire transfer, certified cheque, or the deed to your vehicle. Following the Pemberton-Smythe matter, we no longer accept payment in Volkswagen Golfs.

Billing philosophy

We bill in six-minute increments, as is standard. However, where other firms might round down, we round up. Where other firms might pause the clock during moments of reflection, we consider reflection to be billable strategic thinking. Our time records have been described by a Virginia circuit judge as "the most detailed she has ever seen, and the most distressing."

A note on expenses: our Alexandria office is located 3,669 miles from Woking. We bill travel at our hourly rate plus business class airfare, accommodation, and per diem. We have explored the possibility of conducting matters remotely but have concluded that the gravity of a speeding ticket from Surrey demands our physical presence in the Eastern District of Virginia.
