Your CommentsI had one meeting with an attorney who is no longer with the firm, to discuss a Family Trust. The work was to include transferring the title of three of my California rental properties and Oxnard residence into the trust. That would have meant filing new trust deeds for the four homes. The fee for the work - $1800. This is the amount my wife paid, and several of my clients who I referred to the attorney, who is no longer with the above mentioned law firm. In other words there was a consistency with the fee charged. My wife and I decided to move to North Carolina after 20 years in Oxnard, and I told the attorney that I would not need his services. Fast forward to January 2022, where I began receiving threatening phone calls, emails, and mail from Ferguson Case Orr Paterson that claimed I owed them $1800. I explained the situation and stated I would be happy to pay for part of the fee as only a small portion of the work was done (roughly 10%, the real work would have been retitling 4 homes), and the collection person and a law firm partner both yelled at me on the phone and told me that I had to pay the whole amount. Since that time I have blocked their phone calls on my Iphone, and their response is to send monthly bills with penalties and interest accruing. Short of filing a lawsuit from North Carolina, I see no other option but to contact the Attorney General's office in hopes your office will be able to intercede.
