My question relates to legal practice in the state of: Indiana
My divorce was final in 2/2008. I requested my final bill from my attorney several times (by phone and fax) and never received one.
I wanted to take my ex husband back to court and would like to hire a new attorney so I requested a withdrawl from my old attorney. All of a sudden I receive a bill for $9000. They did not send me any invoices or statements in between.
I had the money to pay him when we settled, but since then have put it all into buying a house.
My new attorney says that in order to dispute this I will have to pay her retainer of $4000 to hire her.
I'm not even factoring taking my ex back to court now because I don't want to be out $13,000+. Do I dispute the $9000 or do I just have to pay?
