We went to Mr Laforte to represent us in a real estate matter. At first he was willing to assist in a dispute with the tenants as a courtesy. There was no mention of any fees for just writing a simple letter. We were referred to him because he is on retainer with a municipality where we are employed. He is compensated up front to represent the employees without additional fees. After he sent the short letters to the tenants as discussed the information sent to them was inaccurate. Immediately afterwards Mr Laforte forwarded invoices to us with inflated amounts due for services. There was no previous discussion mentioning that any fees would be expected. If there were proceedings through the court system, then we should expect to be billed. The landlord and tenant issue was resolved though a phone conversation. Mr Laforte had no involvement with the discussion as it was just a simple misunderstanding.
