The old solicitors fees chestnut.
What did the initial quotation of fees outline.
€8,000 including VAT at 23% is €6,500 ex VAT. Barrister is at least €2k to do anything. Medical report and engineer say €500 each which leaves €3.5 for your solicitor. To prepare a file for court.
The solicitor should provide you a breakdown of the €8k.
Thank you I am meeting him next week I know nothing about law or litigation and to be honest I never felt I had to look into it as I presumed you could trust a solicitor . I am going to ask him to see the last letter of correspondence from the defendants insurance company anyway I'll request a letter also . 8000 does seem extreme for something that never went to court but then I don't know anything about costs it was more his behaviour not showing me correspondence asking for cash not issing a section 68 letter raising the fee as the settlement goes up all veery suspicious
