Re Claim Name: Meir Avganim. et al. v. Jane E. Ratto. et al.
Claim Number: YHH LP 42693
Invoice Number 8174211
Dear Sir/Madam
This is to advise you that The Hartford's Centralized Paper Bill Review Unit has reviewed the above captioned
invoice and has adjusted $59,596.52 from same for the following reasons
HOURLY RATES
Per Jim Jennings, commencing March 10, 2006 The Hartford will apply CUMIS/2860. The customary and
reasonable rates for the law firms in the same geographical area, handling litigation of a similar nature and
complexity is a blended rate of $235/hr for attomeys and $75/hr for paralegals (Sedgwick, Detert, Moran &
Amold). The rates have been adjusted as set forth in the following table
‘Billed Rate | Total Billed Total Adjusted:
Ranging from
$195.00 to
Attorneys $475.00 | __ $235.00 470.80 | $158,028.00 | $110,638.00 $47,390.00
$125.00 and
| Paralegals sooo) $75.00) $80 $679.50 | __$435.00| $244.50
Total $47,634. 0|
The total adjustment to this invoice for excessive hourly rates is therefore $47,634.50. For the purposes of any
further adjustments related to charges from March 10” going forward, the calculations will be performed using
adjusted rates.
VAGUE DESCRIPTIONS
Many of the descriptions on this invoice are not sufficiently worded to apprise The Hartford of the nature of
the tasks being billed to it. For example entries regarding communications do not inform us of the subject and
purpose of these communications,
BLOCK BILLING
There are numerous block-billed cntrics on this invoice. Block billing is the failure to invoice time by task,
grouping two oF More activities together in one billing entry. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to
determine how long a given task took, and, therefore, whether the time charged for each individual task is
HART 900997
HARTFORD 000097
TX0044 - 2THE
HARTFORD
reasonable. While we are not adjusting for block billing at this time, we may do so on future invoices. Please
endeavor to correct this practice.
CLERICAL ACTIVITIES
In review of this invoice we observed clerical activities being performed and charged for by paraprofessionals
and professionals. Billing for non-professional, secretarial or clerical services, regardless of the identity of the
person performing the service is not proper. Among the activities that have been billed by paraprofessionals
and professionals which are clerical are gathering documents, organizing file materials, uploading documents,
coordinating/scheduling and making copies. Such activities are a component of firm overhead already
reflected in the firm’s professional and paraprofessional hourly rates
CASE STAFFING
Overiapping or duplicative billing describes instances in which two or more timekeepers charge for the same
or very similar legal tasks. Inappropriate staffing is often a root cause. Staffing a matter with more attomeys
and/or paralegals than is required by the file’s litigation demands tends to increase legal fees by virtue of each
timekeeper’s need to develop background knowledge while keeping abreast of file developments. Rather, it is
expected that assigned or lead counsel necessarily have the skill and knowledge necessary to handle matters
efficiently, involving other attomeys only in the most demanding of circumstances or where savings realized
through the use of additional personnel.
On this invoice five (5) partners, eight (8) associates, three (3) paralegals charged for work. This staffing
model has resulted in 682.10 hours billed totaling $226,875.00 over 28 days. Over 24 hours per day has been
billed to this file during this time period.
Unfortunately, redundancy was observed in a variety of instances, including multiple people reviewing the
same materials, more than one attorney attending conferences and, during certain periods. the almost daily
presence of intra-office conferencing (which includes intra-office exchange of e-mails and multiple individuals
charging for the same meetings)
Given the aforementioned billing deficiencies and inappropriate charges resultant of the vague descriptions.
clerical activities and inefficient staffing observed on this invoice we have applied a conservative adjustment
of five percent (5%) resulting in an adjustment of $8,962.02
EXPENSES
As a general proposition, law firms are in the business of providing legal services and may not, therefore, carn
a profit on any expenses incurred or disbursements advanced which are later passed through to the client
Similarly, expenses incident to the general operation of a law firm constitute company overhead and, thus. are
not properly bome by the client
Lexis/Nexis expenses are tantamount to the maintenance of the firm library and are considered to be firm
overhead. We have therefore adjusted $2,358.26 for same
HART 0og0s8
HARTFORD 000098
TX0044 - 3Ly
THE
HarTrorp
Unit charges per fax/page are improper, only charges associated with long distance phone charges arc
reimbursable. The firm has billed $329.00 in fax charges which appear to be billed per fax/page. As such we
have applicd an adjustment of $329.00.
The firm has billed $33.30 for “supplies.” Supplies are part of firm overhead and have thercfore adjusted these
charges of $33.30
The firm has billed $10.35 for “wireless phone charges.” These charges are part of firm overhead and thus not
reimbursable. We have therefore adjusted $10.35.
The firm has billed $50.00 for bar admission to the State of Califomia (pro hac vice). This charge is part of
firm overhead and not reimbursable. We have adjusted this $50.00 charge
The firm billed has billed $45.50 and $45.75 for meals for client meeting on 3/5/06 (Sunday) however there is
no corresponding time entry this date. The firm has billed additional in-house meals for deposition/meetings
of $57.78 (bakery), $58.60 and $59.65. It is unclear of what client lunch took place on 3/5/06 (appears to be
in-house meals) and in-house meals are reimbursable. Adjustment of $267.28 applied
The firm has billed $177.00 for “World Wide Network.” As described it is unclear what this charge is for and
how it pertains to the defense of this matter. We have therefore adjusted this charge of $177.00 pending
further explanation.
Ordinary postage charges are considered pant of firm overhead. For postage charges to be considered as
extraordinary individual entries must be submitted with associated cost, information as to what was sent and to
whom, and why certified/expedited delivery required. ‘The firm has billed $80.31 in postage charges and we
have adjusted this $80.31 pending explanation exhibiting that the postage charges were extraordinary
Subject to these adjustments, payment for the balance of the above-captioned invoice has been processed and
will be sent under separate cover.
Should vou have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact us.
