Hired Law Firm

An extremely hi engagement deposit of 15K just to search if our alleged claims to recover our huge loss (>300K) is time-barred. I sent you all requested info. I knew alleged fraud service fee ~2OK is 3 yr time-barred, besides the fee is less than your charge. Very unexpectedly/shockingly, we received a 15 page of a negative legal search memo, Greek/not useful to a layman. Our Engage Lett does not state a report will be done or required. Professionally, such a big undertaking is known to be very expensive and it should be done under client’s approval or request. The memo even did not cover the most important alleged issue of $300K loss, ie you even did not start to work on the alleged claim. It appears you did not believe we have suffice evidences or the story why he did this for no benefits. If it were the case, you should have terminated the case or asked for more info before starting. Thus A $2K service charge instead of 10K for this simple service is more appropriate.

 
Legal Malpractice

Hired Law Firm

They did a case on legal malpractices or frauds without any expertise. They asked a very high deposit and charged whatever they wanted. They breached Engagement Letter (EL) by assigning a fresh law graduate as an assistant lawyer to the case and told us ”the assistant hourly rate is $275”, an experienced lawyer rate. Later, the invoices showed the rate was $120. Then they defended it was a major billing error. They wrote a 15 page research Memo on statue of limitation of our case with a charge of >5,000 without informing us. They used our money to train a young lawyer on legal malpractice and statue of limitation. It focused on well-known 3-4 years timebar for lawyer malpractice which we got free from many lawyers who turned down our case. The worst was “Facts” of the Memo even did not include our core issue which they did not mention either in a 1 hr call (they billed us 3 hr). Nor they wanted to deal with the fraudulent lawyer’s law firm. They cheated us all the way through.
