In March of 2008, I hired a lawyer to clear up a problem.

The services provided were professional and effective.

The price was reasonable, I thought. Following the first
half of the balance at the beginning, I made monthly
payments with the final payment sent in early January.

The letter of receipt sent following that payment
indicated a balance of one more payment.

What would you have done?

1. Get yourself a lawyer!

:rofl:

Right?

Actually, in matters of billing, few businesses in my experience are both as loathsome to work with and archaic in practice as are law firms.

They made a mistake, but they'll try to bill you for figuring it out.

4. This is a sole practioner.

Nothing loathsome at all.

2. Hire a hitman

under the same terms as the lawyers'.


Problem solved.

5. I don't think your advice fits the situation at all.

It might work for you.

7. And what would be so bad about one less lawyer?

You'd be doing the world a favor. :)

10. This lawyer helped solve an important problem for a family member.

This lawyer is worth keeping among the living.

3. My dear Ptah...

I would talk to them...

And if necessary, show them your receipts that prove you had repaid your debt...

Dunno!

And...good luck, sweetie!

8. I sent a check

and a listing of the check numbers, dates, and when they cleared.

I said to check the books before cashing the check.

6. I agree with Peggy.

Dealing with a lawyer several years ago, I noticed the billing was off. I called it to her attention, she checked into it, apologized for the error and we both were satisfied with the outcome.

So, the error you mention could be an honest mistake. Call it to your lawyers attention. I'm sure the two of you can come to an amiable remedy.

11. That should work too, but

I personally would of questioned the billing first, of course very graciously.

I'm sure all will be sorted out and everyone be on the same page.

13. It worked. She returned my check with an apology.
