Quest's billing procedures questionable!

Take a look at McHenry County Blog for the bills submitted to Judge Gordon Graham by Quest International in the case against Lou Bianchi. In particular, note the number of full-hour line entries.

Does it seem coincidental, careless or intentional that Quest's employees and contractors would just happen to schedule meetings that are 60 minutes long? Well, why not, if you are charging $135/hour and $250/hour?

Does anyone else hear a loud, sucking sound at the County cash drain?

I posted this comment to Cal's article on http://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/

"I am appalled and insulted by the high number of even-hour billings. Just look at them. Looks to me like their billing procedure is to round up to the nearest hour. Is 31 minutes billed as 1 hour? Must be a good deal for someone billing at the hourly rates they are charging?

"A lawyer would never get away with that type of billing. Who will bring Quest to its knees over its billing practice?"

Read his article; look at the billing. Then post your comment there, too, and let your County Board member hear from you.

If you were being attacked in your home, you'd call the police. Seems all you can do this case is to whistle at the County Board and hope for a little help. And that's probably what you'll get. A little help. Or, maybe, none.
