closings, and perform any needed legal research related to these duties.
My work will continue to focus on the farmland preservation program.
My time from January 2012 through December 31, 2012 will be billed
at a municipal rate of 210.00 per hour. 'lqme for the paralegals will be

expenses the firm may incur in providing services to you. Such expenses
