If anyone is contact by this attorney, out of Lexington, SC, do not work for him.  He does not pay.  I was called a month ago to update a title for him.  He said he was having trouble finding someone to do this for him.  (I wonder why).  I told him up front that I do not update another abstractor's notes, and I would be glad to do a current owner search for him.  Since I did not have to make copies, I cut my fee $25.00 and charged him $60.00 plus $15.00 mileage.  He called the next day and said my bill was too high.  I told him to pay the bill.  At any rate, I recieved an unsigned check last week in the amount of $35.00, which I returned with a hot letter telling him to pay the $75.00 I billed him.  I told him I intended to contact the S.C. Supreme Court.  Well, I recieved another check for $35.00 with a nasty letter from him accusing me of "bait and switch".  I was going to send this check back to him with a nice note across the face of the check.  I ended up cashing the check.  Hey, $35.00 is $35.00.  The attorney is unethical and should not be practicing law at all.  Just a warning for everyone.

Have a Merry Christmas!!!!!
