The next question is how near to the creek bed is it and does this creek rise much in a heavy rain? Water can take out the base of a wall very quickly if there isn't proper protection.
I'd be thinking of having the client hire an engineer to design the wall if the site is difficult, prone to flooding. You can maintain control by hiring the engineer and having the client pay you his fees.
