Initial Complaint

- Complaint Type:
- Billing Issues
- Status:
- Answered
On May 17, 2021 I went to Mr. ******* law office to retain him for a case that I possibly might have in the future. I paid him $100 and I told him I would make payment for the rest. On May 20, 2021 I went back to Mr. Martin’s office to tell him that my case was not going to make it to court and I no longer need his services. He told me that the courts have a year to file and that it was best that I keep him on because the court has a year to file. I told him that they were not going to file and I did not need your services and he said that was fine and I left. However I still would get invoices from him telling me that I owe him The remaining balance of 4500. The case never even made it into the court room the district attorney never filed any charges from day one so I feel I owe him nothing because he did not do anything.Business response

The client signed a retainer for the full amount on a new case that had not yet been charged through the District Attorney. He has used our firm for a prior case. However, as no charges were filed, we will waive the remainder of the fee.
