I had one with my lawyer last year. I was very happy with the outcome. A lot of lawyer like the one I retained are just pompous crooks. I had my bill reduced from $3500 to $1200. It is very informal and I I took 2 hrs to cross examine my lawyer. He was furious but I maintained my composure thru my entire questioning. It is in front of a Master not a Judge. You are only allowed to ask questions thru the Master for the lawyer. No direct statements. It's like being on Jeopardy. I prepared my list of questions in advance. My lawyer was totally unprepared and thought since he was the one with knowledge of the proceeding, he would just walk all over me. It didn't happen and he was ticked. My strategy was to ask the questions in a way that would bait him and he certainly took the bait.
Good Luck
