How can I dispute the attorney fees. He clearly overcharged me and I am not satisfied at all. I have hearing in 2 weeks.

Show what you have been charged to the judge and speak clearly about your failed expectations, if any, in the work done. Present a logical rather than emotional case, based on facts and accurate details.

These are my best observations for you based on the limited amount in your online post.

Good luck.
