Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania
my question is more about ethics, billing and representation ... i am a client. i believe my attorney, because of greed or ineptitude kept me on a track to go to trial rather than a diversion program for my 1st DUI. i paid just almost $4500 before i found out that that it was a clerical error that had stopped my exit from the court system at the preliminary hearing (and $850 billing) mark. my attorney said he had investigated this option for me but it turns out that he had not. i found the error myself and got confirmation of my ability to participate in the diversion program with the administrators w/o my attorney's help. i'm kinda pissed off. any suggestions?

Demand a refund in order for your attorney to make it right. I'm sure he will. Best of luck to you.

Each county Bar Association has a Fee Arbitration Procedure. Contact your local Bar Association and inquire about the procedure. While doing this, send a certified letter to your attorney explaining your position and see if he will be willing to make a voluntary adjustment.
