This short analysis of the Law Partners itemised bill as a part of the problem of exaggerated legal fees. I went through only part of it.
Itemised bill has 26 items. I am checking all items one by one to see what they are really charging for. The analysis is based on the information that I have. If I find any additional information, I will update this fee analysis. These fees seem exceptionally unfair, and it feels like a part of scam (I can find a better word for it). I will write additional information about the pain and suffering it caused me. However, for this I will need help from a psychologist and other supporting people.
Summary
- Charge for all phone calls and emails twice: as part of other items and additionally individually just calls or correspondence, even if by the contract they were already covered by other items and should not be charged additionally (items: 1, 2, 3, 5).
- Charge for the tasks they have not performed, but simply asked the client to provide final information (item 4).
- I had a look at 34 general communication items: 7 have no correspondence, 6 were just notifications of appointments, for notification of one appointment with Dr Khan they charge 4 times. None of them should have been charged based on the contract.
- There were items like reminding about missing attachment to email, extra 2 items charged.
- They made 2 mathematical errors and charge extra $3,210.01.

| Analysis |
I had a look at 41 general communication items. None of them should have been charge based on the contract:
- 7 have no correspondence;
- 9+2+5+2+1+2+1+2+1 were just notifications of appointment, for notification of appointment with Dr Khan they charge 4 times; for MAS appointment 7+2 emails in total
- 2 Out of office - auto-reply.
- The rest are part of tasks performed for other items.

Bill Amount: 1000.00

H - from contract Medicare / private health insurance.. All activities required to obtain a valid notice of past benefits from Medicare or a private health insurer (including, for example, requesting a Medicare History Statement or a Benefit / Claim History Statement, drafting and forwarding correspondence to you enclosing relevant forms and correspondence, forwarding completed Medicare History Statement, Compensation Statutory Declaration and any other related documents to Medicare or private health insurer, diarising relevant dates to complete and requesting and extension from Medicare if required).
Comments: I had no private insurance only Medicare. There were no Medicare related correspondence on 2019-10-24. All Law Partners did was to forward few Medicare forms. They did not keep any history of doctor appointments related to Medicare. Because Law Partners refused to complete claim going to MAS assessment they did only part of documentation for Medicare. The very limited information Law Partners provided about link between Medicare and insurance claim did not let me properly provide information to Medicare, this caused me to do extra work on my own to fix it.

Bill Amount: 1000.00
Corrected Amount: 250
H - from contract Medicare / private health insurance.. All activities required to obtain a valid notice of past benefits from Medicare or a private health insurer (including, for example, requesting a Medicare History Statement or a Benefit / Claim History Statement, drafting and forwarding correspondence to you enclosing relevant forms and correspondence, forwarding completed Medicare History Statement, Compensation Statutory Declaration and any other related documents to Medicare or private health insurer, diarising relevant dates to complete and requesting and extension from Medicare if required).
Comments: I had no private insurance only Medicare. There were no Medicare related correspondence on 2019-10-24. All Law Partners did was to forward few Medicare forms. They did not keep any history of doctor appointments related to Medicare. Because Law Partners refused to complete claim going to MAS assessment they did only part of documentation for Medicare. The very limited information Law Partners provided about link between Medicare and insurance claim did not let me properly provide information to Medicare, this caused me to do extra work on my own to fix it.
Sum
In summary after the table Law Partners wrote:
PROFESSIONAL COSTS $130,490.00
GST $13,049.00
PROFESSIONAL COSTS (incl GST) $145,539.00
It should be $143,539.00. They are charging $2000.00 too much.

Law Partners charging in their bill $1,210.01 more than shown in bills.
Medical related disbursements are only $4,958.21.
Even according to their itemised bill due to mathematical errors Law Partners are charging $3,210.01 too much.
Emotional impact
Exaggeration of the cost by Law Partners goes beyond any expectations. I would never expect that lawyers would do such thing so brutally (I believe that correctness of costs is protected by law somehow). They double charge for most of the activities (that I have checked so far) even if it can be proven to be wrong by checking the contract. However, it feels that they seem so convinced that they will get away with it that they do not bother about it. Such activity (I believe is criminal, but again I am not a lawyer, and I will try to find it out) might seem strange, but you have to take into account that they know that I have PTSD and I am not able to deal with these things. Anything related to injury causes panic attacks and my brain shutting down. I was re-traumatised by this injustice. I think that was exactly their purpose. This is why they went to such absurd false claims. I will not be able to defend myself if they manage to cause me to be completely overwhelmed and not be able to cope. And their plan worked. They did cause significant damage. I am going through their bill only after 3 years of intense therapy and still struggling to cope with it. Unfortunately, I have spent several months just on this bill as it is so unfair and stressful. I am stuck with it: cannot get it out of my mind and cannot deal with it. I hope to figure it out one day. I will write about my experience.
