The original email to the expert apparently was interpreted as shopping around for prices (wasting the expert’s time), rather than an intent to hire the expert. I’m not saying the expert is right, but just that he has a different view based on his experiences. The expert may have had a recent problem with a law firm inquiring about the rate sheet, then using the rate sheet to shop around for a lower cost expert. Or using competitor’s rates to attempt to haggle over his rates. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>There are some in the engineering community that believe engineers should be selected solely on competence before any discussion of price.
