[QUOTE="Steve, post: 1048467, member: 13675"] You could challenge that with the Legal Practice Council. There's a chance that the attorney would counter that he had to consider your instruction (because saying "that sounds good" implies that you're instructing him based on what he earlier proposed). I agree with you on the whole, though. I do not bill if I do not advance the case in some manner. I don't bill for updates to client because that does not advance the matter, for example. I do bill if I consider the matter, devise a way forward and propose it to the client for acceptance. [/QUOTE]
