FEE SCHEDULE
June 1, 2008

Except as noted, my fees are predicated upon a rate of $300 per hour, with a cap of $2,000 per calendar day when it exceeds 8 hours, as when traveling or consulting with the client.

There is no fee for preliminary consultation(s), but a retainer is required for anticipated work and expenses. Unused retainer will be immediately refunded.

Although the fee varies according to the time involved, these are typical fees:

Polygraph examination conducted in Salt Lake City, including report, which is typically 3 to 4 pages. Payment must be received in advance. The payment is fully refundable if the exam is cancelled up to 6 hours in advance of the scheduled time.  There is a $100 cancellation fee for no shows or exams cancelled with less than 6 hours' notice.
 $900
Full quality assurance review of another examiner’s videotaped or audio taped test for possible court testimony. Includes adherence to accepted standards, review of strengths and weaknesses of the exam, and the interpretation of the charts for truth or deception and the presence or absence of countermeasures.
 $1,200
Limited review of another examiner’s charts regarding the interpretation of the results for truth or deception and the presence or absence of countermeasures. This fee applies when there is no audio or video recording available for review. $600

Testimony in polygraph proceedings such as Daubert or Frye hearings or trials. $5,000
Testimony regarding voice stress analysis $3,000

Travel time outside the greater Salt Lake City metropolitan area is calculated at the hourly rate, door-to-door; i.e., from the time I leave my office until I return, with a cap of $2,000 per day. For example, conducting a polygraph examination in which there is one day of travel time each way typically costs $6,000, as the length of the exam is open ended and the return travel should not be scheduled for the day of the exam.  Air travel is business class where not prohibited by government regulation.  There is no charge for travel time within the Salt Lake City metropolitan area.

Expenses: All out of pocket expenses are the responsibility of the requestor. These normally consist of travel, hotel, and the standard government per diem rate for meals.
