Lawyers Gravy Train to be Curtailed

Finally South Australia is to introduce legislation to reign in the blank cheque that lawyers have. As somebody who has used a nice lawyer, but who has fallen victim to their unbelievable requests for additional funds despite no change in conditions just as things are about to be resolved. Coming from another professional services field, we would not be asked back by many clients if we treated them that way. Pretty basic stuff. A decent written estimate and then stick to it unless things change dramatically. If they do then provide a reason and get it approved before sticking clients with a bill for something that does not seem fair.
