“Shawn spoke with me about a day or two ago,” Harrison said, sitting back in his chair. “We came to very nice terms—he was very generous in his gratuity for consulting with me.” I knew what that meant: Shawn had paid Harrison good money.
“So what you’re saying is that he’s my client whether I want him or not,” I countered. Harrison shrugged.
“You are always free to turn down clients, but, of course, you do have a review coming up in six months...and I’m sure someone like Shawn Peterson could afford a very valuable fee.”
I frowned.
“I asked for twelve hundred an hour per charge, plus a fifteen thousand dollar retaining fee,” I admitted.
“Then it seems we’re on the same page, Ms. Evers,” Harrison told me firmly. “I’m sure you’ll do excellent work on the case.”
I wanted to argue, but I knew that there was no way that I could convince Harrison to let me out of giving into Shawn’s demand. There was no way that Shawn would agree to pay that kind of legal fee to Harrison—even if he was more experienced and just as good as I was. I had to take the case.
