I asked him to adjust child support payments from two children to one (one would graduate from college in three months). He asked for one thousand dollars. I paid assuming that he would refund the balance if not a lot of time was required. Two months later he had not done anything. I called him; he said he would get it done. Over one month later (after she had graduated) I still had not heard from him. I called; he said to cut the payment in half and he would get a revised agreement. I cut the payment in half and never heard from him again. No communication, no refund, no revised agreement. I suspect that at some point he called my ex-wife's lawyer and said, "Let's just cut the payments in half." Five minutes, one thousand dollars. My mistake was in assuming that a personal acquaintance would not engage in predatory billing. I was wrong. Don't make this mistake. Hire someone else.
