I paid an attorney to represent me in a case. She was paid $1500 simply to move my child support case from Illinois to missouri. She filed the paperwork and that was it. this is rediculous that it costs $1500 to file some paperwork. How can I get my money back? He was never served with papers, we never went to court, nothing.

ok, well. I paid her to move the case here, that was the price. Moving it here required the paperwork being filed, my ex being served with the papers and one day in cour. She filed the paper work and quit. It needed to go to court to move it and he was supposed to be served with papers. It is not moved, it is still in Illinois, she did not do what she was paid for.

In my opinion I think you need to contact the attorney and ask her to complete the process and remind her or else you will have to contact the Licensing Bord. Ohio has one I imagine every state would have. She does not want something like this to appear on her record. She will then work with you to complete this process. If time has been wasted and you did not pursue it like we usually always have to do, unfortunately part of that responsibility is yours. Life is not fair so don't expect it to be. You have to usually stand up for your self at every step. To follow up on this after you get this issue changed means she will easily exact out the "paper work" to be cost appropriate. Good Luck on this one. Sukey life lesson.

you should counter with yet yet another chop up (say seventy 5% to you, 25% to the defaulting client), and proceed the negotiation to artwork out what happens. you additionally ought to make certain into the regulations on your state. In some states if the two activities do no longer come to an contract, the money gets became over to the state after a different volume of time. i could be at risk of counter and justify your counter with the money you have lost via utilizing their withdrawing of the deal... in straight forward terms shrink the time that they had prefer to settle for the counter supply to each week or as a thank you to maintain the negotiations dragging on continuously. stable fulfillment!

You agreed to pay them to do this. Just because you now think it was too much does not mean you are entitled to get some of the money back.
Did you have an agreement saying how much she would do for the $1500? If not, you are probably out of luck.

If she gave you a rate for the work in advance and did the work, I don't see you have much to complain about. On the other hand, if you hired her by the hour you should get an itemized bill and be refunded the differencce.

Amazing cost for something you could have done yourself. You hired an attorney and got the case moved. Thats what you hired her for. Mission accomplished.

you don't she set a price for what you wanted done you paid it and she did what you wanted sounds like you should have asked more questions on what would be involved with what you needed done
