Mr Taylor had been doing my father's estate work, so I kept him on when my father passed away to deal with the probate issues. Just before the probate hearing, I received my first bill for $17,000. I was shocked at this, but could not change lawyers at that point. Several of the line items were for 3 hours of work at a time. I'm not sure what would require that amount of time on a simple case, but I paid it and after the probate hearing, told him that we would no longer require his services. Several weeks later I received another itemized bill for $1500. I paid that also and by then had hired a new attorney, who was much less expensive. I had also received three emails, two from Robert Taylor's paralegal and one from the admin, regarding my new attorney. Several months later I received another bill for $300. This one was not itemized, but charged me for 0.8 hours at the attorney's rate even though my communications were with his paralegal and admin. I have no clue what they are trying to charge me for, but it costs between $50 and $100 per email or phone call to deal with these people. I have not contacted them since, since they would just send me another bill. I filed a complaint with the Michigan State Attorney General, but they will non deal with issues against attorneys, so I'm on my own. They continue to send me bills for whatever and I refuse to continue to pay them.
