What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I had retained a lawyer for a divorce proceeding. Her retainer was $7500.00 which was paid. The final invoice came in at $32500. I sent a check for $25000.00 and it was clearly marked 'Paid in Full'. The check was cashed and ever questioned or disputed. Then I receive a another invoice for $7500.00
Seeing how they cashed the check marked Paid in Full is there any legal obligation to the balance they are now claiming?
