What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
Hello, need some help.
My lawyer is withdrawing his services for a divorce case that was final 3 months ago, and also filing a petition to collect fees. There are still loose ends in the divorce settlement and I am now stuck working them out with my ex's lawyer. I am very unhappy with my lawyer's services(I was overbilled & poorly represented, in my opinion), but I paid most of my bill. He is not withdrawing because of non-payment, I thinkt he just wants to back away at this point.
Should I be in court at his withdrawal/fee hearing? Would the divorce judge deal with legal fees, wouldn't fee disputes be taken to small claims court? And is it normal to bill more fees for quitting after the divorce is final?
I am trying to get the other lawyer to fix the documentation but she wants to sue me for my ex's legal fees if she does this, or take me to court for contempt for not complying with it as written.
