GM's thread about nothing (21 Viewers)

Hey Lawyerguys, if a lawyer that you paid money to didn't end up having to do anything that you hired her to do, how do you go about tactfully asking for your money back?
Was the retainer refundable or non-refundable?

Assuming the former, simply write a quick letter saying that your relationship is terminated and request a copy of your file, the final bill and a return of the unused retainer.
She told me that $750 would be for legal documents she would have to file, and for going to court to get the case reopened,
none of which she had to do.
Word of caution - she might have drafted them (or might claim she drafted them) before the plug got pulled on the case. This is why you ask for the file back too - you want to see what she did.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

 
HFFL is looking for 1. PM me for details. Lost Red Raiders, one of the best. :(
does he post here at all?
I think he stopped everywhere :(
He got married.
that was like 6 years ago thought, right?
Sure, but he has cut back on online activities every year... First FBG, then chat, then gramvling board, then emails, now HFFL... :(

You mean this pick that I made last night at 6:49?

 
Hello, friend. I am trAversing the part of I-10 they call I-12 in the state too good for "Counties." Question: if we have 8 hours of driving left and I'm sitting in the back, at what time can I begin drinking beer?
Depends how strong the weakest bladder in the car is. If the missus needs to stop every 90 minutes, you should have started already. If she has an iron bladder, you better play it safe or at least have an empty Gatorade bottle handy.

 
Well we just stopped to pee and everyone went. Five minutes ago. Now my daughter informs us she needs to poop. At this rate we will get home by Wednesday.

 
Thanks for the input guys.

Thorn and I talked on the phone and he confirmed that it's good news for now. but like T Bell and Beavers said, they can reopen a case, but when they can again, he is unsure as it varies by state. I will be getting this to my attorney on Monday if she doesn't already have a copy of it.

At least for the rest of the weekend, I can breathe and somewhat enjoy it.

Big thanks to Thorn for talking to me on the phone in the middle of a holiday weekend!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Thanks for all the good wishes and info from all.
UPDATE

I resubmitted my paperwork like they asked. Got a message to fax over one more document, did that and got a message a week later saying they never received it. I thought "here we go again:. Refaxed it.

Yesterday I have an envelope from them that they overnighted. I've had this before, last time it was a notice to accelerate.

In an amazing turn of events, we were approved for a loan mod. Now I've read that people that did get loan mods, the mod was $50-$60/mo, not anywhere near enough to make an impact, so I definitely didn't have my hopes up. Reading on, They reduced my mortgage by $300/mo. :shock:

Definitely brought it into the window we can afford, not as low as I wanted, but we can handle it.

Holy crap! :excited: I've been in a little bit of shock all day. Now it's only a "3 month Temporary payment plan", but it says if we make all the payments on time they will re-evaluate and see if we can handle it permanently. Holy crap! :excited:

The mortgage starts new and all the late fees are to be payed in a lump sum when we sell in the future. Holy crap! :excited:

All in all FINALLY something good happened to us. We won't be selling and we will be able to stay now. Such an awesome feeling! Holy crap!!!! :excited:

It's Miller Time!!!!!! :banned:
Congrats! That's great news!
