First Amendment Retaliation and Free Speech: Motion to Dismiss on Qualified or Sovereign Immunity — Full Package
An immunity motion in a First Amendment Retaliation and Free Speech case, raising qualified, absolute, or sovereign immunity at the earliest possible stage.
Immunity is an entitlement not to stand trial, so the motion is written to secure the immediate appeal that denial makes available. Includes the clearly-established-law analysis with controlling authority. Briefed from the record and the controlling authority in your circuit, with the procedural posture handled as carefully as the merits.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the motion and supporting memorandum, the declaration and exhibit set the motion relies on, and a proposed order in the court's preferred form. It is fixed at this scope: motion, memorandum, declaration, proposed order, and up to 5 exhibits. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference — we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
2 to 3 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$8,450 is $325/hour × 26 hours — the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary first amendment retaliation and free speech matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $8,450 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
A short description of the dispute and where it currently stands, the key documents, contracts, and correspondence, the parties involved and any deadlines already running, and the case caption and court, if a matter has been filed. Send what you have — if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
