amicus attorney fee

My wife and I are adopting our nehpew. His amicus attorney is charging us $1200. Our lawyer mailed him back saying that $500 was the most he has ever seen. Would just like a second opinion.

Thank you

Re: amicus attorney fee

$1200 is unusual. $500 might be a little low. You or your attorney can always contest the fee, but usually the "amicus" is a buddy of the judge. But it might not cost anything to contest. Ask for his records to see what he has done. Good Luck
