Email Body
The Banks and Riedel firm was billed $2853 for the transcript.
Brett/Stewart did not reimburse anything.
I paid half ($1,426.60) to  Banks and Riedel, preventing interest charges
on the full amount.
The  Banks and Riedel firm are still owed $1,426.60 for the remaining
outstanding bill balance.
