Hi all
Would it be normal for a solicitor to break down costs on an invoice, eg. Work done by solicitor, work done by paralegal, charged per hour/segment of time
It’s for probate, a bill coming in a double what was initially estimated. I realise that “estimated“ is the key word here.
However, heading for double seems very odd. Also, it seems an interim letter and invoice were never issued, so when we raised concerns, we were to,d we’d been warned about it in May, but we weren’t.
They have also given two sets of invoices with VAT calculated wrongly.
If we ask for a full breakdown of time spent, will it be normal for it to be charged more? Is it not the norm to be given a full breakdown?
I realise some of it might be a simple error but the rest doesn’t look great tbh.
TIA for any help.
