Hi,
Another problem for you's.
I recently had a court appearance over maintenance payments. I had a meeting with her for about an hour where she took all my details. Bank accounts/weekly cost of living etc. The court appearance was 10.30am- I was out at about 10.50am. Solicitor turns up at 11.00am. All went well so it turned out i didnt need her ( i wrongly assumed that the judge made an estimate of what i could afford regardless of what ex-partner agreed to).
Solicitors fee was €150. I paid €100 during original meeting. Now she had the neck to ask for the other €50 even though she missed the court hearing! After me telling her to sling her hook and think herself lucky i wasnt asking for the €100 back as i may need her for a social welfare issue which i am in the middle of. Afterwards i was thinking that she was very unprofessional and that i wouldnt like to have her represent me again (not that she did in the first place)! She also smokes in her office-illegal im sure! I need to ring for her to send me all my details but i want to be prepared in case she asks for the other €50. If she does Im wondering who i should go to in order to complain about her! Any ideas?? Am i within my rights to ask for the other €100 back too?
Thanks
Much obliged
