In the brokerage(securities) a broker buy prescription drugs with no prescription and or its firm can be sued for excessive trades specifically designed to generate a commission,( churning) even if those trades are profitable trades. with that analogy, a attorney doing unnecessary work to generate fees is called what?
There is no specific term that comes to mind. It is called overbilling. It is a form of abuse of process albeit a private action between attorney and client. The misuse of legal motions and and lawsuits form a tort called barretry.
For all the answers that slurred and attacked ALL the members of the legal profession. Don’t call us. Defend yourself in a court of law, especially in a criminal trial.Ask Dr. Jack Kevorkian about not heeding his lawyer’s advice, and then defending himself in court. His lawyer’s good help in prior cases made it look so easy that the good Doctor figured he could do it all by himself. (he lost and is serving a life term for murder).
