You have effectively communicated your intention not to pay for services not rendered. Ensure the letter includes your clear contact information for follow-up and keep a copy for your records. You might consider adding a request for confirmation of receipt to ensure the lawyer acknowledges your letter.

It sounds like you're dealing with a billing issue after a phone consultation. Typically, you should not be charged if no services were rendered beyond the call. If you want to dispute this invoice, maintain a clear record of all communications. Is there anything else you'd like to know about disputing invoices?
