The Question:
I have a question about attorneys fees. I have been represented by a local lawyer in my divorce. She told me that that I probably wouldn’t incur more than $5000 of attorney fees. Well, my case hasn’t been settled and now I just got a bill for $12,000 because we had to go to a hearing in Lovelock where my divorce is pending. Don’t know if this is normal. Also, she charged me for driving to Lovelock. Is that even proper?
