What is the name of your state? Mi
I retained a lawyer for a simple divorce w/ children on 1-2-03. At this time he advised me that I would need a $500 retainer fee to start the process. We went threw the whole 6 month wait the regular proceedures w/o any clinches. He never once billed me or spoke of me oweing him any more money. My divorce was final on 6-6-03. I now today 1-21-06 received a bill from him for $1205. Not only did I receive it 3 years later. The bill is dated December 29, 2005 and was sent to my parents home instead of my own which I received postmarked 1-19-06. My address has not changed from the information provided to the atty originally. Is there something I can do about this?
