    Default Agreed Price Skyrocketed

    My question involves malpractice by a lawyer in the state of:

    When i first approached my lawyer for his expertise and estimated cost he
    gave me a price. when court started he increased the price do to the length the trial was now going to take. I was not able to afford the new price so he suggested i use his less expensive student and he would show for the important days. I agreed. The expensive lawyer never showed for the important days (final arguments and sentencing)at the end of the trial i discussed a final cost with the student and we made a verbal agreement. After sentencing i agreed to pay the small remaining amount we agreed upon. That small amount somehow became a very large amount i did not agree upon and would not have agreed upon. I don't mind paying the agreed amount but don't want to pay the new much larger amount. What can i do?

    Dispute it (in writing, and without emotion...just the facts!) with the senior attorney.

    Attorneys do not like to sue for their services, so perhaps you can work out something agreeable to all...
