Hello again,

I have a few questions regarding your cost estimate: How did you estimate the number of hours needed to respond and is it based on the expected number of documents? If so, how many documents are you expecting per search item request? I may be able to narrow the request if I know what items are bringing back a lot of results that may not be needed.

Additionally, do the different attorneys have different tasks? And, can a lower-paid attorney do more of the hours of work? Thank you again for your help in this matter, I look forward to your response.

My best,
Victoria
