Worst Lawyer I Have Dealt With
Worst lawyer I have had very had to deal with. Should have walked away when during the meeting to discuss what we want in our trust he was more intent in writing the trust he wanted not the trust we want.
Mr. Lillich charges for everything which I understand
but there are several things not right with this system. After receiving First drafts I emailed saying we received the drafts and were reviewing them charged .1 (6 minutes) hour to read a 2 line email, charged .1 hour (6 minutes) for his response total charge $60.00 ( my opinion should not be charged just part of doing business 3 minutes max not 12 minutes). Sent an email asking what the bill was to date. They sent an invoice. They next invoice I got from him showed .1 hour to read my request for a bill to date and .1 hour to reply total cost $60.00 (my opinion should be no charge send a email we invoice on the XX on the month).
After we received first draft and reviewed it finding gross and minor mistakes along with miss use of words and spelling mistakes along with formatting mistakes sent email requesting an appointment. Took 5 emails to set appointment he charge $30 per email total $150 two of the emails were because of his sloppiness he said he was available Wednesday morning I requested 10 am he reply busy at 10 only have 7:30 to 10:00. If I had called him and waited for him to call me back appointment could have been set in less than 5 minutes. = $30 not $150
Learned DO NOT SEND EMAILS TO HIM. That is a $60 charge every time.
Mr. Lillich bill style went like this.
We paid to meet with him and discuss the trust and documents we wanted.
We paid to have him write a draft of the trust and other documents. These charges I agree with.
I do not agree with what I found his billing style to be.
Charged us for a meeting to tell him all the mistakes in the trust and other documents he wrote for us.
Charged us to correct his mistakes in the documents.
Charged us to tell us he corrected his mistakes.
He did not correct all the mistakes and in correcting some of his mistakes, he made new mistakes in the documents.
Charged us to tell him of old mistakes and new mistakes.
Charged to correct old and new mistakes.
Charged to tell us he corrected his old and new mistakes.
We decided we had been charged way too much and that he probably would not produce the trust and documents we wanted so we terminated Mr. Lillich services.
