For case by case basis Legal Consultation Service Package, SB Law professional fees shall be based on the actual time our lawyers/consultants work on the services(s) for which we have been retained.
Our Lawyer and Consultations keep track their time in minutes to the nearest 10 minutes and record their time daily. Time record notations are made for any and all work performed, including but not limited to, office conferences, legal research and preparation of legal instruments, telephone and personal trips to and from the offices to relative places or client’s offices.
