I didn’t sign her terms or agreement and she didn’t review it with me during the call in detail. Additionally, she’s saying she wants to keep $*.
It sounds like you're dealing with a refund dispute. Here are some general pointers for California:
- Without a signed contract, you might not be legally bound to proceed.

Since the attorney mentioned keeping $*, you might want to negotiate or contact a consumer protection agency. Have you considered seeking mediation or filing a complaint with the State Bar of California?

Case Rating: *
In Nevada, there’s no specific legal requirement for an attorney to provide a written agreement or receipt unless specifically requested or outlined in their practice guidelines. It's generally good practice to do so, but not necessarily illegal. You might consider discussing directly with the attorney or seeking further advice if there's a dispute.
