Good Morning Sarah,
Pursuant to the Policy, the Company is not required to reimburse you for settlement costs, attorneys' fees or expenses the Company did not approve in advance. In this case, the Company did not previously approve of the deposition or transcript expenses you are seeking reimbursement for. However, as a courtesy to you, the Company has elected to reimburse you for the $1,426.60. Please note that for future expenses, you will need to acquire prior approval before proceeding if you will be requesting a reimbursement. I am requesting the check today and there is about a 2-week turnaround time on checks. As soon as I have more information, I will provide an update.
With regard to your comment that you have not heard from me in 6 weeks, I am copied on emails between you and retained counsel, Brett. I have reviewed all of the emails that I have been copied on. The questions in your emails are directed at Brett, your retained counsel, and he has provided responses to all of those emails. In addition, I have been in constant communication with Brett to ensure we are on track for resolution of the claim.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Marimar Soltero

Hi Marimar,
Attached are the invoices for the depositions and transcripts provided to Brett in 2024. As noted, I reimbursed half the costs directly to the Banks and Riedel Law Firm, totaling 1,426.60.
Please reimburse me for half of the total payment, which is $1,426.60. Please also reimburse the banks and the Riedel Law Firm for their half, which is outstanding at $1,426.60.
Their office address is:
Jeff Banks
