Just recently received notice of a hearing scheduled from a previous attorney of mine requesting payment. I had paid the attorney up until April 2008, but due to my move I had stopped payment. I just sent the attorney a letter and payment requesting that I be placed on a payment schedule and also phone call to ask that this case be dismissed if I continue to make payments to the attorney. Balance owed to the atty. is $1300.00. Could this case be dismissed if I continue to make payments? Should I contact the courts myself directly to let them know what I have done already?
