This reminds of a bill I got from my attorney. I was involved in a suit with some contractors recently. We had both the law (they had not filed a "mechanics intent to lien" at the beginning of the job and then failed to file their suit within the 90 days of last appearing on the job as allowed by Washington law) and facts (they disappeared from the job without finishing it having pretty much "labored it out") on our side.
The contractors attorney, after receiving our response to their complaint, advised them to drop the suit, which they did.
Our attorney contacted me by phone with the news and gave me the total of what we owed him. I hand delivered the check.
A week later, the attorney sent me a letter suggesting that we close the file on a potential countersuit we discussed. I agreed and told him so via mail. Shortly after, I received an invoice from the attorney for $35.50. The service listed was "writing client a letter recommending closure of file."
I'm now wondering if I'll get another invoice for the time spent in sending me an invoice?
