Hey Butch!

Get paid up front. Estimate the hours you'll need to spend on the case. Double it because you know it'll get screwed up since this is Trump. Then add and additional 50% for contingencies and protecting yourself when your client compromises your professional integrity.

Better yet, drop the case. It's a fool's errand and you probably now it. You just can't resist the publicity it will bring you, right? Sucker. If there's anything we've learned it's that Rick Wilson was right: Everything Trump Touches Dies.
