I hired an attorney about 2 years ago to check into my financial situation because husband does not allow me access to information. Attorney had no official office so we met at 2 times at his friend's office 30 min away from his house and charged me for his driving time. He took 2 boxes of my financial records home with him to look over.
We did not get along and I got no answers although I paid him $4000.
I would like my financial records back. He said it would cost me 45 minutes of his time to bring them to his friend's office and wants $200 to return them.
Is this a common practice? To charge a client for giving them their records back? I would gladly meet him at his home (an hour away from me) to save any charges. He refuses.
