I haven't been happy with the attorney I originally retained who "guided" me into prepping for Chapter 13. I haven't filed and probably won't for another couple of months. I'd only had the initial consult plus two simple emails replied to by my attorney. After consulting a different firm yesterday (wasn't aware that I shouldn't do that while another is on retainer but I wanted a second legal opinion) I've decided to close my case with the original attorney.
I called their office when I got back to work yesterday and told them I was closing my case, drafted a letter stating the same thing, and walked the letter and my "red folder" of info back over to them. They said they'd refund my money in about two weeks if there was any left over after itemizing work done on my case.
Shortly after dropping off the paperwork, I got an email from the attorney:
"I received your red folder and msg that you want to jump ship; what gives?"
Do I even need to answer him? Or will they charge me for that, too? Suggestions? I just feel so much happier to be rid of that firm.
