What is the name of your state? Pa
I finished with a case a few months ago. My lawyer came up with a lot of extra charges after the case was over, that i refuse to pay. He is threatening to sue me. If i lose the case do i have to pay court costs? pay for his time?
If i have to pay court costs, how to i find out how much they are?
I paid a $2500 retainer for a custody case. We had 3 days in court. The night before our second day he told me i owe $1200 more before the second day even began. Then after the 3rd day in court he sends me a bill for another $2400 for a total of $6100.
He now breaks down the charges , but adds a total of 2 hours onto our actual court time, charges from phone calls and messages, travel time for meeting me to sign papers, and $75 for getting 6 pictures copied. I didn't win anything in court, and wasn't told about any extra charges until after it was half over.
I have paid him $4000 , but i don't feel that some of the charges are legitimate .
