In Manhattan, New York, or Manhattan, Kansas?
I sense that a client is complaining about your fee. An ethics professor once quoted a sole practitioner he asked about how he determined fees. The answer was, "charge three times what it's worth and if the client complains, cut the bill in half."
There is the "charge by the form" school, and the "charge by the time" school. I am in the second category. Depending on how well organized the client's documents are, this looks like two to three hours of work. Well, except for that guy in Ohio, who could do it in 20 minutes. A Ford dealer will charge you $200 or more for maintenance and repair on your F-150. You're worth at least that much.
