(SHB) Subject: RE: Conflict Check Thank you, Bert. The statute (18 USC 2255) provides that the defendant will pay attorney's fees, and the defendant has agreed not to contest liability under the statute (the fight will be limited to the amount of damages to be paid). I plan to propose that you use your regular billing practices, and hopefully the defense will be in agreement. See, you've won your case already and it hasn't even started!

Preliminary conflict check looks fine. While I know you don't represent the 40 young girls, do you know if they would prefer a different arrangement such as contingency or reduced hourly rate with a success fee? I have some flexibility if there is an issue. Bert Ocariz From: (USAFLS) [mailto Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 1:01 PM To: Ocariz, Humberto H.
