On 8/19/14, I requested legal service from [redacted] of Lenokowski Law Office. As per contract I paid by ,credit card, $1250.00 till 9/18/14 when another $1250.00 would be charged if needed. During the last week of August, my husband contacted the city attorney, Mr. [redacted], and he agreed to dismiss all charges in my case and would file a dismissal order. On 8/31/14 no monthly itemized statement for work done provided. On 9/05/14, judge signed order of dismal. On 9/11/14, my husband picked up dismal order. On 9/11/14, called lawyer's office, notified receptionist that email was sent with copy of dismal order and requested a final itemized statement and that case was closed. 9/25/14, received email (attached) from [redacted] that now we have order of dismal that she is no longer our lawyer and that " will not seek any additional payments under our agreement". My order of dismal was obtained on 9/11/14 by my husband and notified and provided copy to [redacted] (attached), her service was terminated on 9/11/14. I have copies of all emails, phone call and text dates. If needed will send. 10/31/14 No final itemized statement received. 11/20/14, My husband call law office requesting a final statement to see if we owed any money. 11/24/14, finally received itemized statement ( attached) showing $529.00 subtracted from our $1250.00 balance. I feel that not providing timely monthly statements, as stated in contract (attached), from end of August till case was closed on 9/11/14, and not receiving such statements on till November, [redacted] violated the terms of the contract. No August statement, No September final statement, No final statement provided in October, and then after calling repeatedly I finally receive a finalized statement on 11/24/14. The contact was violated when I failed to receive any statements at all. As my final resolution, [redacted] was paid for her service for work done, total of $529.00 and for not providing any timely monthly itemized statements or final statement, a refund of $731.00 should be paid.

matter, the case was dismissed by the prosecutor. Ms. [redacted] contracted on a flat fee, fee earned upon receipt basis with our firm. Her fee was to be $2,500.00. She paid the first 1/2 on the date of her consultation and was to pay the 2nd 1/2 within 30 days. With my years of experience and training, I effectively handled her case resulting in a complete dismissal of the criminal charge against her. Now, 4 months later she wants to benefit not only of not having to pay the other 1/2 of the contracted upon fee, but wants a substantial refund of the 1/2 that was paid. The fee agreement is clear that the fee is earned upon receipt and the scope of representation is through and including "dismissal, stipulated guilty plea or trial." Our representation of her ended upon completion of the services resulting in dismissal.

In response to Ms. [redacted] last complaint - I forwarded her a copy of the motion and order to dismiss the criminal matter by email on 9.9.14, after we received it by mail from the prosecutor. It was dated 9.5.14 and came about after I had spoken to the city prosecutor and after I drafted and filed a notice of defenses and request for discovery. While Mr. [redacted] had contact with the prosecutor's office as well, our direction to the couple, our filings and our correspondence with the prosecutor led to the dismissal. Regarding the statements, our office manager generated and mailed them their invoice on 9.12.14. I have all email correspondence between the Laboys and myself, they never complained of the billing, the service or requested additional invoices. Two days before they filed this complaint, they called our office out of the blue demanding a refund. We provided our legal services per the contract with them. They agreed it was a fee earned upon receipt and we have already extended a courtesy to them by not requiring payment of the 2nd $1,250.00 installment required under the contract.
