A referral to an ASA expert is free.

What does this mean?  It means that when you call ASA to get a referral to an expert, you will receive the following at no charge:

the expert's current curriculum vitae

the fee schedule of the expert
(Note: Each expert's hourly rates vary between fifty or a hundred dollars per hour to hundreds of dollars per hour, depending upon experience and qualifications.  However, in every referral you will always receive clear details on hourly rates, including rates for testimony.) 

a brief preliminary consultation with the expert
(Note: This initital consultation is typically limited to a telephone conversation regarding the expert's qualifications, though in some instances the expert may be willing to meet with you and/or discuss your case in detail at his or her discretion.)

If you retain the services of our expert, ASA will act as billing representative (and, when needed, as administrative liaison) while the case progresses.

Our administrative fee (US$195.00) applies only if you retain the services of our expert or designate him or her as an expert witness.  This is a one-time fee for each expert we refer and you retain.  

In addition, this administrative fee, once paid, also applies to any future case on which the expert agrees to consult for your firm.  No additional administrative fee will be charged as long as you call ASA to set up the new file.

Feel free to contact ASA if you have other questions regarding fees and hourly rates.
