Attorney is Good but Administrative Fees are Bad

The charging up front was disclosed. I did not have an issue with the hourly fees. The issue I had was there were 2 sides to the charging, the attorney fees and the paralegal fees. Total fees were 9300. 5700 were paralegal fees. I reviewed the billing statements and was being double charged for ...the same work. Example: over $500 to review a financial affidavit. I transferred to another attorney because of the high paralegal fees. In the wrap up of the case, i was charge 555.00 to get a consolidated email of documents I already had and had not requested. In summary, the attorney had fair fees but his paralegal was not billing appropriately.

Thank you for your comment. Ayo & Iken hires and retains top-notch paralegals. We feel this makes a difference in every case we handle. Many firms hire general help with no experience and then they train them to become paralegals. We believe that encourages mistakes, slows down cases, and creates poor results. We hire top people, we pay them well, and they stay with our firm for many years. Attorneys that have excellent support staffs are more likely to do excellent work for you. And really sharp paralegals tend to give the other side the impression that our firm is extremely tough. While we do respect your opinion we also respectfully disagree with you. An excellent attorney should have an excellent paralegal. Anything less and you take the risk of shorting yourself and sabotaging results. We thank you for your business and wish you good luck with your situation. BTW - we never charge twice for the same work. The firm partners always review and correct any actions that are ethically questionable.

Beware

I hired Mr Prezepis for a family law case. I don't feel he was prepared to handle my case. I was charged a large sum of money for him going to court on a simple matter 1 time and he made sure to use up every dime of the money in the retainer. If you use this attorney be sure to read thoroughly the... contract you sign. The so quote free consultation is only free if you don't hire him. If you hire him you are charged for the consultation and it is taken out of your retainer along with $700.00 plus other additional fees before they even start your case. This is the perfect example why people dislike Attorneys so much.
