My attorney charges me
...$125.00 per hour and this is charged even if we speak on the phone for 2 minutes. A few days ago I called his secretary and gave her some information. She called back and said my attorney needed to see me concerning the information that I had provided. I met with him today...and after going back and forth for about five minutes...he said that I had him confused...and I told him that he had me confused. Well over the next minutes we settled the confusion...and he turned out that his secretary had given him mis-information...and he did not need to see me after all. By then we had been talking probably around 15 minutes or so...so I said well...I guess you will not be charging me today for your time...since it is your secretary that caused the confusion and was the cause of you telling me to come in. He said with a straight face...of course your will be charged. I said with a straight face...you are of course joking. He had a quite moment then laughed and said "gotcha"...but you know I think he was serious in his original statment...about charging me.
Fucking attorneys usually give no "quarter". Maybe I should have presented him a bill for wasting my time because of his secretary's mistake.
