We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. Our firm works hard to provide professional legal services, timely communication, and clear billing in accordance with our fee agreements. Yes, our firm does bill for the time spent working on a client’s case, including communications, document review, drafting, case strategy, and other legal work performed on the client’s behalf. Just as any professional expects to be paid for the work they perform, attorneys and staff must also bill for the time and services provided. Because of confidentiality obligations, we cannot discuss the specific details of any case in a public forum. However, we take all concerns seriously and welcome the opportunity to review any questions regarding billing, communication, or services directly with the client. Thank you for your feedback.
