You have worked long and hard to get your business started and planned it out to the finest detail. Of course, challenges are to be expected but that’s what made planning an essential part of the process. All of the classes taken, business certifications acquired and business plan strategies that were created, did nothing to prepare you for the possibility of being overcharged by your trusted attorney. This is the person or firm that was hand selected by you, to offer quality representation for your reputable company. It is your honest belief that they have only the best interest of your company in mind when representing any element of your business. So, why is it that a recent review of your legal bill seems to indicate that there is a strong possibility that your legal fees are excessively greater than they should be?
A Common Occurrence
As hard as it may be to believe, there are more than a few cases where clients have been shown that they are paying or have paid much more than required for legal representation. This may come as a bit more of a shock since legal fees are excessive without the fluff and to add insult to injury, the firm has taken advantage of the client in a manner that is completely unexpected. The fess are often parachuted by as much as 20% and clients are so certain that these expensive charges are indicative of quality representation. The fact is that law firms have a responsibility to offer the best representation they’re capable of at a fair cost to the client or these fees are subject to dispute.
The Case against the Attorney
It’s understandable that very few people plan to enter a financial dispute with their legal representation. It’s not expected but definitely happens and when it does, the client should be prepared to take the necessary steps to redeem their finances. The services provided by companies that can conduct a detailed review of the bill that a firm has rendered a client can be very accommodating. In essence, the individual rarely knows what is fair but the auditing company has the knowledge and skills necessary to find any flaws or overcharges in the legal bill. It is always a relief to find that all the charges are as they should be but it’s also a great relief to have the necessary assistance in the event an attorney fee dispute should arise.
