Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: bad attorney representation

Your first step is to try and resolve it between you and the attorney. I would suggest making an appointment, and sitting down to discuss it. If you paid him on an hourly basis, your entitled to an accounting of all the work performed and the amount of fees earned. If for some reason you've already tried that, or your not comfortable meeting with him, then you can try sending him a letter outlining your complaints and ask him to justify his fees and work in writing. You can also ask him in the letter to refund and fees that you feel you have coming. If all else fails, you can contact the state bar association and they can look into it for you. However, I don't recommend that unless your absolutely sure that your not getting what you have coming, and you have exhausted every other avenue.
