气死了，被一个律师

[NSH]

因为买房，最近在找律师。我劳工在报纸上看到一些律师的广告，选了几个，与他们轮番谈了一下后，最后定下来一个。在交谈当中，他们都把我们的文件复印了。当时我劳工只当是问问情况，了解他们的收费，并没有与任何一个达成协议。

几天后，其中一个未被选中的让他的秘书打电话来留言问我们是否定下来了，我劳工马上就给他的秘书回电话说选中其他人了。没想到几天后收到他寄来了一张账单，向我们收$430律师费。

当时他在开始与我劳工谈的时候，并没有提醒他这段谈话是要收费的事情，而且当时我劳工与他也未达成任何的口头协议，请大家帮忙出个主意该怎么对付这么无耻的律师？

回一封信表明受到帐单,但不同意他的受费.表明谈话是你的INTERVIEW.他并没有提到要收费.并表明你会COPY此信留底.要是他再来纠缠,你就向BBB投诉.
最多他告到小额法庭,庭上解决.

真是欺负人。这个律师叫什么？应该让大家不要和他（她）做生意。

We've never "interviewed" a lawyer for house selling/buying transactions. It's very standard type of work, and it's very low cost work for a lawyer (~$500 compared to other lawyer's $200/hour rate), so I don't think they will want to spend time for your interview.

Next time you can just call them to talk about it or ask them to fax you an estimation of cost, and you sign the contract if you decide to go with them. That save both your time and the lawyer's time.

If you really want to ask lawyer many questions without paying hourly fee, you can join the prepaid legal service kinda monthly plan, and you pay like $50 a month to ask lawyer questions. Lawyers earn their living by providing consultation and legal opinion, so you can't really assume questions are free.
