Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: MrK [redacted] in representing me did not account for his staff's inaccurate accounting and added interest that was paid for prior, they further added additional costs that he never did and failed to address these concerns when approached in phone and written means I feel like his "attorney speak" is used to blur the facts of over-billing when these concerns were addressed When a person is being forced to pay a bill with a law firm it becomes very intimating and I believe they just thought they could bully me into paying it So I wanted to stand up for myself by letting them know that I would not just pay any bill that they wanted to charge me and that I would be vigilant in defending myself and letting others know to avoid this firm based upon my experience Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Early in the morning of January 14, 2015, [redacted] received a call from his wife's attorneystating that the attorney would appear in court at 1 :30 p.m. on that day. Mr. [redacted] contacted me bothat home and at my office...

to secure our services. He signed a written retainer agreement. The retaineragreement required that he pay for services on an hourly fee basis, pay for costs and that interestwould accrue on unpaid amounts at 1 % per month. He agreed to deposit $2,000 as a retainer againstwhich we would work and bill. He received monthly statements commencing with the end ofJanuary, 2015. He never deposited the initial $2,000 required by his written agreement. I note thathe did not provide you a copy of the written agreement or provide you the monthly billings,indicative of his rendition of only part of the history of this case.Because he did not make the initial deposit nor make monthly payments as required I hadfiled a notice of intent to withdraw. He requested that I remain in the case. While I remainedattorney of record in the case I was required to reply to opposing counsel who contacted me so [redacted]as I remained attorney of record. I did so. My responses occurred between billing cycles and wereproperly billed. Mr. [redacted] eventually sent a check for a portion of the accrued costs, fees and interesta[redacted] with an irate letter which failed to address the agreement he signed. His check did not fullysatisfy the bill and his irate letter was full of factual inaccuracies. His claim that the practices areunethical and erroneous is flat wrong. I advised his new attorney of these facts and supplied them allof the billings and have received no reply. Mr. [redacted] also failed to advise you that he explicitly statedthat he was going to publish libelous statements about this case on various media. He points to noparticular inaccurate fact or billing in the contract or the billings. Whether Mr. [redacted] understands thisrequirement is irrelevant to the issue of the requirement.I have supplied all of this information to his current attorney, [redacted]. Mr. [redacted]position is simply incorrect and ignores the document he freely signed to engage our services.Very truly yours,
Peter K[redacted]
