McCormick: Worth It

Dear [Dashing Young Lawyer About Town], We appreciate you giving us a chance to discuss our case. We placed an order for some goods from Fastenal Company back in January, 2019 and the terms of the sales contract requires us to pay 50% of the total cost of the ordered goods before delivery and the balance after we have received the same goods. However, after we made the 50% initial deposit, we did not receive any goods as required. The goods ought to be delivered in February, 2019. More time was given to them to deliver the goods which they were still unable to meet with. Hence, we requested a refund. We have made several efforts to have them refund the initial deposit, but to no avail. We have therefore decided to resort to legal means since there is an existing agreement prior to the transaction. Find below details of the supplier for your conflict check. Naive Local Company Name Here We have suffered so much loss as a result of this failed transaction and we are ready to proceed with litigation if the need should arise. Let us know the best way to have this issue tackled and we will comply as long as we get results. Furthermore , we have concerns and would like you to respond in detail in your reply. Are they any foibles you see in this case? If litigation is involved, the distance gives us some concern with regards to court appearances. How can this be handled? How much is your legal fee? Do you charge on an hourly basis or contingency? What should we expect from you? Any guarantees? Please advise on your assessment of this case. A quick response will be appreciated.

I need the services of your firm to draft a loan agreement and handle the closing for the purchase of 2 Robot Surgical Machines (Intuitive’s da Vinci Surgical System} by a company located in your state. We will be paying the original seller and securing the machines as collateral once we finalize the approval of the loan. There will be two parties involved in the transaction for the closing, The lender and the buyer. The loan will be for 18 months and is set to commence by the First week of July, this is depending on how fast we can negotiate the terms of the loan and finalize a closing date. The repayment will be on a monthly basis with 4.9% interest annually until payment is complete. The loan amount for the equipment is $3,500,000. I will need the legal expertise of your firm to advise us on how the loan agreement should be drafted, to comply with your state laws, advise on the legal terms to protect our interest, and review all supporting documents from the borrower. You can bill us based on an hourly rate, I do not foresee us spending more than 20-30 hours on this transaction, the delay may come towards the closing date.

Adelson, I know this world is killing you

Hello [Dashing Counselor at Law], Thank you for your prompt response. Am currently on an official assignment outside the states and Phil Adelson (ex-husband) lives in jurisdiction. Due to the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is a little bit difficult to determine the best time to call you. Following our divorce, we agreed under a negotiated settlement agreement which is incorporated, merged into and made part of the court decree for a one-time payment of $823,500.00 for Family support (this includes child support, alimony and medical support). To his credit, he has paid me $499,500.00 USD but still owes $324,000.00 USD and the due time for completion of payment is over. Thus, I request your legal counsel and representation to enforce the final judgment thereby compelling him to remit the balance owed me. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions. Attached is a copy of the separation agreement, and Final Judgment and I will be pleased to provide further information on this case on request. Prior to retaining you, Kindly forward a copy of your retainer agreement. As soon as I receive your firm's retainer agreement, I will review it to determine if the terms are acceptable to me. I would provide a copy of the signed retainer for your records and for us to proceed with this case. Regards, Yumiko Adelson
