Concerned about your attorney's invoice?
ATTORNEY FEE AUDIT
Justice can be expensive...
Receiving a legal invoice for thousands of dollars can be overwhelming. Most clients don't know whether the charges are reasonable—or even how to evaluate them.
You have a right to question the reasonableness of those fees. The most effective way to control the cost of your legal services is to thoroughly review your legal invoices and identify disputable charges. Send us one invoice and a copy of your fee agreement (feel free to redact your attorney's name and address), and we will provide a complimentary analysis.
Your complimentary review may identify:
-
Mathematical errors
-
Possible duplicate entries
-
Block billing
-
Clerical tasks billed at professional rates
-
Vague descriptions of the work performed
-
