Thank you very much for the advice. I will definitely take those parts out.
We did not have a written agreement of any kind. She met with me and asked questions, then told me what she would charge to handle the D for me.
She made a phone call to D's A after the settlement for me as he was giving me a hard time.
I have left her vm's since getting the first bill and still received another bill although never a call or explanation. But I would think my vm would have prompted her memory. In the vm I stated that I did not understand why I was receiving this bill since she had said I would not owe her anything else at the settlement conference.
I am trying to be sure to be very logical and direct with my letter because the interactions with her felt a bit more like a developing friendship than a business one and I don't want my feelings of disappointment to affect what I am writing.
We were always discussing her flower garden, swans, the uncompleted projects her h had started. Just odds and ends. But there was always more chit chat than case discussing when we talked.
She stated more than once looking at my income that I was going to have a hard time making it. Then to not push for D to pay at least any fees above what I had paid her and send me a bill for almost double what I have already paid her is upsetting. I mean wouldn't she have had some idea that there would be money still due her? I just don't understand the way this was handled at all.
