Hired Law Firm

I was told my contract write up would cost 1500. I needed a standard contract for the industry I’m in. After paying the retainer fee of 1750, I received the first edit of my contract a couple weeks later. The contract had errors in it and looked cookie cutter. So after this low effort attempt I clarified things and rose went back to work. i received the contract in its final form, and I thought our business was done. After all communication being done by email and phone I get a letter in the mail saying I owe another $675. I would say they heavily over estimated the amount of work done as another lawyer told me it looked extremely cookie cutter. I paid the final invoice and moved on but know I will never use them again. There should be better communication, and quite frankly I felt ripped off. Advisement for possible things to include in the future was limited, but informative.
