my dads secretary invited the lawyer over to the house for dinner after he had done some work for them, he billed them for those two hours and added a third hour for his travel time,that cost was around $1000. Don’t invite the lawyer to the bbq.

Wow. Your dad's secretary had NO inkling whatsoever of this guy's intentions?
SOMEONE should report him to the State Bar Association.

What a jackass.

Does this mean that ALL lawyers are like him?

probably no inkling at all, he was a member of her church, all are like him, I would hope not are some, I imagine so.

"What a jackass. Does this mean that ALL lawyers are like him?"

I think so. Once, a lawyer gave me an invoice. I asked for the detailed invoice. He said no one ever asks for that. He gave it anyway. I was shocked to see that every single phone call was charged, even those phone calls when he wasn't in.

Another lawyer took a ride to see a property because he wanted to see it yet he didn't need to. He charged me for that ride.

Now, even if I see our family lawyer on the street, I avoid him. I'm scared he'll charge me just for saying "hello!"
