Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
I told my attorney that I no longer needed their services and paid my bill off in full. I never contacted them again. A few months later I received an email stating that I needed to sign a stipulation to withdraw for them. I complied. I then received a bill for $250 for the withdraw AND for the time it took them to prepare the bill. I have never been billed for " billing" and I was never told I would be charged for something that they requested after I had dropped them. Are these ligitimate charges?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Read the contract that you signed with the attorney. It should cover the payment agreement. I have never heard of an attorney charging for preparing a bill unless the bill was a duplicate or was some unusual request you made. Changing to draft a stipulation to withdraw at your request isn't unusual at all.
