What is the name of your state?MA
INCIDENT HAPPENED IN DC
HELLO WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A SETTLEMENT....PRIOR TO THIS WAS WITH A LAWYER FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOTHING WAS BEING ACCOMPLISHED AND FORMALLY ENDED ALL SERVICES WITH A WRITTEN LETTER..
WHEN I HANDED HIM THE LETTER HE STATED THAT HE WOULD FILE A LIEN WITH 1/3 OF WHAT I WOULD GET WITH ANY NEW ATTORNEY
AND HANDED ME A BILL FOR $6,200 FOR PHONE CALLS AND VISITS THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE...NEXT DAY I RECEIVED BILL AND THERE IS NO EXPLANANTION FOR HIS SERVICES BEING PERFORMED. DURING TIME I WAS WITH THIS LAWYER WAS VERBALLY ABUSED AND MANY OTHER NAMES THAT I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT STATE HERE
I WENT WITH A NEW LAWYER THAT PROMISED ME VERBALLY THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS WITH THE PREVIOUS LAWYER WITH ANY SETTLEMENT MONEY AND WOULD NEGOTIATE THE BILL UNDER $1000 OR UNDER...THE NEW LAWYERS SAW THE BILL AND EVEN AGREED THAT IS WAS A BOGUS BILL AND THERE WERE TYPOS,NOT EVEN ON A LETTER HEAD AND NO EXPLANANTION OF SERVICES.
NOW THE CASE IS SETTLED BY THE NEW ATTORNEYS AND BEFORE SIGNING MY NAME ON THE SETTLEMENT PAPERS, MY ATTORNEY VERBALLLY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF MY 1ST LAWYER AND TO MAKE HIS BILL UNDER $1000 FOR SPENDING NO OR LITTLE TIME ON MY CASE.
I THEN SIGNED THE THE SETTLEMENT WAVING THE COMPANY THAT WAS BEING SUED BY ME FOR SEXUAL HARRASSMENT. AND THUS WAVING HE LEIEN AGAINST MY FORMER EMPLOYERS THAT MY PREVIOUS LAWYER HAD PLACED....THUS ME SINGING THE SETTLEMENT WAIVED THE LIEN AND I WAS PROMISED THAT THEY WOULD TAKLE CARE OF THIS....

2) WORKED IN DC AT COMPANY THAT SUED FOR SEXUAL HARRASSMENT
3) 1ST LAWYER IN BASED OUT OF VA AND IS LICENSED IN DC
4) LAWYER THAT SETTLED CASE IS OUT OF DC
5) I DID SIGN AGREEMENT WITH FIRST ATTORNEY THAT HE WOULD TAKE
PREVIOUS LAWYER STATED THAT CASE WAS ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS AND IF I SAUGHT OTHER CONCIL BESIDES HIM WOULD CHARGE ME $350 AN HR FOR SEVICES RENDERED...BUT HIS BILL IS SO FABRICATED THAT HAD NOT ONE DETAIL IN THE BILL EXCEPT MEETING AND PHONE CALLS
