I'm shocked a lawyer did anything for 1500 dollars. Most have a 5000 dollar minimum, has been my experience. And, no, you don't get that back if they don't have to do much work, has been my experience.
I don't really blame the lawyers. They are running a business. It's hard to get a lot of jobs done that are worth less than a few thousand dollars, unless you use a big company that's making money on volume, paying some guy 20 bucks an hour to do the work and charging you 200.
I think they had a family lawyer who was ready to go anytime. I think the family he married into had over 300 million. I know they had a 3.4 million dollar boat at one point with a crew. So maybe lawyer was more or he was just doing as part of his other duties
