lawyer says 30 mins consultation, u go there, PAID consultation lasts 10 mins. THEN he says he will need to review it and then he will charge another 1.15 hours for it and will charge that amount.
then he drafts you a memo based on his 1.15 review, he also charges for that memo? instead of giving you consultation @ appt,he keeps adding the extras to make it a $600 for a 6 page document review. mind you, he didnt revise it,just gave comments that it needs another 10 hrs work $3000 lol
Dear Customer,
We regret you were not satisfied with your consultation. Consultations can
last between 10 mins and 1 hour depending on the complexity of a legal
matter.
Consultation fees are deducted from legal fees charged for work done. When
handling a complicated legal issue, preparing a written memo is the first
step in handling a legal matter responsibly. Ensuring a client understands
the law, and potential strengths and weaknesses in their case is essential
for them to make informed legal decisions.
Fees quoted for proceeding on your legal matter once you received the
detailed information on that matter are typically done on an estimate of the
time likely required to handle your matter.
We work hard to ensure our clients get great legal advice and representation
at reasonable rates and regret you do not feel you received this.
