Cons
1
The lawyer may approach some cases, such as prenuptial agreements, in an overly adversarial manner, which can lead to increased stress, conflict, and higher legal fees for the client
“It appeared that Ms. Markiewicz approached our prenup as a hostile divorce (rather than a loving marriage) pitting my future bride and I against each other, employing emotionally charged adversarial negotiation tactics and dragging out an expensive lawyer intensive process.”
2
The lawyer may charge for tasks or services that the client did not explicitly authorize, leading to perceived overcharging and billing concerns
“Despite the fact that we met for a 'free' consultation, and the only thing I authorized was the creation of a letter, J. Markiewicz only returned a little over half of my retainer. She unethically charged me $455 – over an hour of her time – for reading the documents that she asked me to send to her before I had even met and hired her, and a $117.50 charge just to 'Open a new file.'”
