Re: paid attorney but, did not go to court
It sounds as though the attorney arranged a successful conclusion to the case. At least the disposition sounds favorable to your son. Part of an attorney's job is to see that a client gets the most favorable treatment available. The charge must be reasonable to the result, however, and if you feel you overpaid, why not write him a letter explaining your position and see what his response is. If you cannot resolve it informally, check with your local bar association to see what services they provide in such situations.
