Charged $5000 but case dropped
If a person goes to a lawyer and they
have majority of the info. needed to
start a case against another party for
criminal acts and the lawyer agrees
to take the case but after months of
doing minimal work (such as making
calls and little investigation from the
info. given to them by the client)
decides to drop the case because
they realize that they are not a
criminal attorney. But in the
meantime the client is out of $5000
that was charged by the attorney
working on the case. Was this legal
for the attorney to take money from
a client knowing in the first place
that they were not capable of this
type of case?
