1st attorney bill

I also received my attorney bill yesterday. Guess how much? $2116.50!!! That was for reviewing the purchase contract (10 pages), email correspondence, changes to the contract, etc. He billed me for a total of 8 hours--okay, whatever. I spent a total of 45 minutes on the phone with him.

Well today, my attorney emailed me and asked me whether he wanted me to also let him review the title commitment. I'm a little gun shy of running to him with questions, expecting another stiff bill. Luckily, I had a patient of mine (title/escrow officer) look over everything for me and tell me it was clean.

I have nothing against my real estate attorney, he is good at what he does.. but I really don't see how he spent 8 hours of work on this. I'm not in the best mood right now.
