Being unable to pay a legal bill and believing you've been overcharged are two different issues.

If the fees are reasonable but unaffordable, you may be able to negotiate a payment arrangement. If the amount itself seems excessive, consider getting independent advice before agreeing to a settlement.

Is Your Lawyer Using AI and Still Charging You Full Price?

Generative AI is changing how lawyers research, draft documents and complete legal work. But are clients seeing the benefits?

Using AI doesn't automatically justify charging the same amount of time for work completed more efficiently.

Legal fees must still be fair and reasonable, regardless of the technology used.

Negotiating may resolve a legal fee dispute without formal proceedings. A costs assessment, on the other hand, involves an independent examination of the fees to determine the amount properly payable.

Understanding both options can help you decide which approach may be appropriate.
