Attorneys should ask you for a copy of the file. This takes time and resources and we need to be compensated. In fact, the is standard practice. Some attorneys will not pay you  when they get the records. This is why we always send an agreement explaining how much it will be. This is done so everyone understands and agrees that a charge is in place. After we get the letter signed and returned back to us, or we get payment, that is when my staff will take the time away from other tasks to get the records together. Below is a sample letter. Make sure you check with your states rules and prices as these are fees are set.
