Law Offices of Erik Newton, Heath WARNING - Pads bills, then threatens Collection Action or Lawsuit! San Francisco, California
Although their performance was scattered and they didn't seem to remember the case at hearings, etc. This is really not the problem. The problem is they pad their bill and then when you question it they apologize and make the corrections. At first you think, "okay honest mistake" right? Think again.. they keep doing this as time moves forward. Generally we all pay our attorneys off each month right? But at the end of my case I had a small balance and I questioned, AGAIN, the charges on my account. I held off paying the this final bill until these inaccurate billing charges could be addressed. They refused to address them and 4 months went by. Finally, they contacted me. And here is what happened:
They told me that if I didn't pay the FULL final bill, which included these disputed charges, that they would retroactively capture all the charges from the past year that they had corrected. See I thought they corrected the mistake but now they were saying that they gave me a "professional" courtesy reduction. HUH? They then said they would take this retroactive amount and the FULL final bill, with the current disputed charges, and send the entire amount, A FIVE figure item, to collections or to court. And it wouldn't be small claims because of the amount. SCARY! At this point I am feeling a gun to my head, how about you?
