What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
Hired an attorney for family court matter. Received bill shortly after court date. A few weeks later the lawyer called to tell us that the papers he filed were rejected due to an error he made but not to worry about it that he would fix it. He refiled the papers and they were accepted by the court. Today i get another bill that is TWICE as much as the first one and has new charges on it such as:
*edits to order & meet w/ judge-$52.50
*draft IWO & submit to court- $35
*parties regarding rejection- $35
*file order- $35
*review alacourt & calls to client- $35
*Final order letter- $35
*farewell letter- $35
Can he legally charge me for his mistake on the paperwork? It was basically a modification for a divorce decree & child support order that was established in 2007.
