Question posted in the General Law category relating to Western Cape
i requested my attorney to assist me by looking at my current employees employment contract and offer advice if it good enough or does it covers everything. He disappeared for almost two weeks and a week later he sent me an email stating that he is working very hard on this contract. And he never gave me an idea of how much he will charge me for his professional opinion. Days latter he sent me a completely new employment contract with an unreasonable excobitant fee.
