Unexpected Solicitor Bill - Naive me?

Moogles44

Fees are crazy but they should have told you fees before hand.

Be aware that you probably are being charged for every single email and message and phone call. Even a message saying thank you is £25! I got charged for questioning bill too ( the one saying thanks!)

Always keep it short be careful. A friends solicitor asked my friend if she wanted to meet her before walking into court, she thought ‘how sweet’ until she got the bill for her meeting her.

The one I have now is not like that thankfully, although still very expensive but honest and genuine. I’d shop around or time every meeting ...and never say thank you

Not the proper procedure, solicitors are supposed to deal with billing inquiries and complaints for free.

I think I was being taken for a bit of a ride with that one looking back. The one that I have now is honest . She charged me for saying that the email just saying thank you was chargeable so I was wrong so I got charged for questioning it .
