    My adult industry lawyer is trying to screw me. What to do?

    So, I came to this SF firm that specializing in adult industry with a few concerns ( regarding 2257, etc. ). They said to put a retainer of $2,500 and that should probably do it for all of my questions. Now they have billed me for about $6,500 and never told me that they went over the "budget". Also, they never told me they had to do research on very common issues that the attorney should have known off the top of her head.

    What are my options?

              Obviously, you got a " good " attorney .... he knows the game ... of retainers and billing...

              Aside from one I used for a criminal case, they ( the shark bottom feeder attorneys ) are all the same ...

              And don't forget, they are cheap on tips .....
              I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

              But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                      Sue them yourself in small claims court for breach of verbal contract and fraudulent billing. Represent yourself.

                          You probably should have kept track of the hours you were talking to them and asked them for estimates (of time) whenever they were going to bill time while you were not present.

                          They can provide a breakdown of exactly how each hour was billed. Ask for that and then see if anything looks suspicious.

                                  I did. I found many billing errors, however the biggest problem was them doing "research" on issues they should have already known answers to. They are taking me to "arbitration".

                                      Contact the State Bar Association.

                                      I assume if what you are saying is correct, that this conflicts with their Code of Ethics (you might want to first check the agreement you have with the attorney regarding billing).

                                      So what is the firm/lawyers name?

                                          I am sure you will be able to work something out, did you speak to them about it and bring up your concerns?

                                                  The true punishment of a criminal (not referring to you in any way) is having to deal with lawyers.

                                                      I had the exact same situation with a lawyer not too long ago. Unfortunately I had something in process which meant I had no choice but to pay but in your case I would just not pay and file some official disputes.

                                                          Yes, many times. They just don't care. They want the money.

The way it works is you pay a retainer, for that you can ask questions and get your calls returned. You start getting billed if you have to take some kind of action, letters,court etc.
                                                                                          If they have to research 6500 dollars worth on basic adult questions they arent adult lawyers.

Only advice I can give is in the future, check out Larry Walters, his office definitely does not need to result to sleazy tactic's to make money. They are good people there and are very good at what they do.

                                                                                                          When they say no problem they'll take the case and all that, pay em the $500 or whatever and then give them their own identity so they have to sue themselves.... They are going to have to settle out of court and I bet you wind up looking pretty good as well as your old bill

                                                                                                                  Unfortunately most lawyers are greedy, but wasting even more money doesn't sound like a good option. Had a similar thing 2 years ago, expected 1.2k, paid 3k, they lost a customer, I learned a lesson.

Retainers are a sum of money that is held in trust by our firm, and our hourly fees and costs are subtracted from that account. Please call for a consultation as to our rates and retainer fees.

I'd print this out for your small claims court day.. its theyre policy clearly stated.. So you might not get any info out of them and yes it was a scam... but you won't owe them any more money.. than take this info and picket outside their office, and send to attorney general, BBB, etc

They said to put a retainer of $2,500 and that should probably do it for all of my questions. Now they have billed me for about $6,500 and never told me that they went over the "budget". Also, they never told me they had to do research on very common issues that the attorney should have known off the top of her head.

                                                                                                                                  What are my options?
                                                                                                                                  wait a second...

                                                                                                                                  uhm.... in the world of the sane, that means you also had a retainer agreement with them which also spelled out these issues and how they would be handled, how much per hour you would be billed and how many hours were anticipated and so on.

The fact that over the years I do not know the answer means you probably want this a secret but if you wanted to spill it....

I found many billing errors, however the biggest problem was them doing "research" on issues they should have already known answers to. They are taking me to "arbitration".
                                                                                                                                          That really does sound odd. Basic questions on a topic of which they should be very familiar? Definitely bring this up at the arbitration. Perhaps they will claim to have to research YOUR particular situation, but hammer home the fact that your situation wasn't special and that the answers should have been easily determined by those "experts."


                                                                                                                                          Arbitration isn't bad. It is much less formal than a civil trial and they will give you every opportunity to explain your side of things.

                                                                                                                                          Just make sure you present a sound, reasonable reason for being in arbitration. Do NOT just say that you think the information and answers were too expensive. Explain why you think you are being over-billed. Make sure to ask if they do the exact same research each time the same question is asked or if they become more efficient with their research over time. Also ask them what was so "unusual" about your questions that required so much "research."

                                                                                                                                          Tell them that you will be happy to pay for their services, but you aren't willing to pay for unreasonable time spent on issues on which they should be familiar (without extensive research).

                                                                                                                                          Good luck!

I'd print this out for your small claims court day.. its theyre policy clearly stated.. So you might not get any info out of them and yes it was a scam... but you won't owe them any more money.. than take this info and picket outside their office, and send to attorney general, BBB, etc

Like, does a $300-$500 per hour partner actually need to do the research that could have been done by a paralegal?

                                                                                                                                                          So, not only emphasize that the hours billed were too high, but see if they were assigning work to the appropriate levels of their staff:::

I'd print this out for your small claims court day.. its theyre policy clearly stated.. So you might not get any info out of them and yes it was a scam... but you won't owe them any more money.. than take this info and picket outside their office, and send to attorney general, BBB, etc
                                                                                                                                                              whats wrong with you people? he had a written agreement with them. it spells everything out. the website isn't a contract. the website offers a general overview of how they work and your interpretation of whaat you are reading is wrong. it doesn't say anything about what happens in the event that the retainer is spent.

                                                                                                                                                              do this..

                                                                                                                                                              the guy should have a retainer agreement, signed by him which is standard operating procedure. the law firm did what they all do if you don't spell out those details... the spend more money and the retainer agreement addresses that.

                                                                                                                                                              i mean seriously... how stupid are you people to start talking about suing a large lawfirm about their basic procedures? first... you can assume they cover their ass... HELLOOOO! its a law firm. second, you need to see the agreement he signed when he retained their services before you could even dream to have an opinion.

                                                                                                                                                              anyone suggesting taking a law firm to small claims court is extremely naive. anyone saying "yeah, just represent yourself" in this little exercise in stupidity in suing a lawfirm is just an asshole. they can move the case out of small claims court (forget the name of this move) and they can bury you, then sue you for their own costs.

                                                                                                                                                              if you want competent legal advice... hire a competent attorney. unfortunately, this guy just learned a hard lesson that many of us have learned the hard way. most lawyers are pricks. most lawyers/lawfirms have annual quotas for billable hours and they'll fuck you in a second because the burden of proof is on you to prove otherwise and dispute everything.

If this person feels like he was FUCKED, then let him sort it out in court. It won't be any more expensive for him if they move it out of small claims. And, it will just be in the Municipal court which is "pro se" friendly as well.

"courts are logical" and there is a lot of procedure... and that logic and procedure requires 6-8 years of education to understand. but that shouldn't hold back a socially retarded idiot with a gripe, who feels he's being taken advantage of in spite of an agreement signed by him that says otherwise. whats the worst that can go wrong? getting counter sued for 20K for their legal fees for filing a frivilous claim? not a big deal at all. who needs an attorney anyway??? just walk into the court with a magic 8 ball and go from there... you'll be fine.
