There are three things to think about in this situation. First, go to the attorney and complain and try to work it out. Second is that overbilling is either just a breach of contract for which you can sue. The third is that most states have mechanisms within their attorney ethics offices for resolution of issues like this without resort to a regular lawsuit. In NJ we have what is called the Fee Arbitration process, where a client files a request for arbitration with the Fee Arb section of the Ethics Committee alleging specific instances of overbilling. The attorney files a reply, and the matter is arbitted by a 3 member panel (2 lawyers and 1 non-lawyer) to determine whether there has been overbilling or not.
