I terminated my relationship with my lawyer in May of last year. I was so disgusted with the lawyer I filed a bar complaint, in which there was not enough proof to charge her. Now the lawyer I fired over 7 months ago keeps trying to charge me for the amount of work he did while defending the bar claim, and is sending me bills. Here are my questions:
1. Can create a lawsuit against me since I filed a bar complaint and he was not charged? I.e. extortion, libel, etc, in light of the fact there were no lies just not enough proof.
2. How likely am I to win an arbitration case against the attorney, and how likely am I to win an appeal to the state bar on the complaint with no new evidence?
3. How can I make the lawyer not send me anymore bills and not send it to collections since I have an email from him saying I have a $0 balance but they keep sending me bills?
