A fixed fee covers one clearly described piece of work. If the job grows, for example the landlord answers our letter with a counterclaim, we stop, tell you what the next step costs and wait for your yes.
We never switch a fixed fee to hourly billing halfway without asking. That rule is also in our terms of engagement.
