I feel for you and your family Kurt. I'll add you to my morning prayers.
Having just spent 26 months in litigations, and a four day trial in Circuit Court, I am burned out. Did not win, but I did not loose, it was more of a push.
My law firm made two mistakes at trial, and two witnesses that were subpoenaed to testify never showed up. I could have charged them, but decided to let go.
Lawyer sent me a final balance bill a bit over 58K, while I already gave him 37K.
I just sent him a copy of the contingency fee agreement we had.
According to this agreement, all I had to pay for was costs like postage, court costs, witnesses, and the like. I should get a refund!!!
Haven't heard from him in months, also, the lawyer handling my case was fired from the firm a few days after the Bench Trial.
For all of you lawyers out there, I have not got one thing in my heart against lawyers. We sometimes need your help, make sure you do your best.
Even though, it is a journey to recovery after all is said and done.
I wish the best for you and your family.
J.
