Why does it take time for a solicitor to provide an itemised account?
Along with a $20K+ bill for various legal services I received a "Notification of Client's Rights" document which said I could request an itemised bill within 30 days. I did so, but was told that it would be several weeks before there was time “to prepare it”.
While I acknowledge that it is coming up to Christmas, I also don't understand what would need to be "prepared". Surely all the info is logged into some sort of accounting software already, and if not, then how did they come up with the total on the bill I received?
