My question relates to legal practice in the state of: FL
I hired an attorney in January for family law and signed a contract. Mediation was completed in March, final communication with my attorney was in April. End of September, he "reviewed" my case and charged me again, when I was $100 shy of paying him off. I emailed him and asked him to close my case as I no longer need his services and also can no longer afford his services due to my health and recent hospitalizations. My ex had his attorney contact mine, unbeknownst to me, resulting in my attorney again working on the case after I asked him to close it for previously mentioned reasons, and again billed me. I have emailed him again! asking for him to remove the charges and close my case, terminate my contract. How do I ensure that he no longer "reviews" or "works" on my case continuing to bill me, and am I responsible for paying him for the most recent actions despite asking him to close the case? Per my contract, I have to send him a written request to terminate his employment, which I have done.
