[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Refuse to pay for this when he bills for it, and email the managing partner of his firm and explain the situation. I also don’t understand why you answer his calls. Let them go to voicemail and email him in response saying that there are no updates and you’ll let him know if/when there are. And then do not pay for this time if he bills for it! [/quote]

i'm op. i am not answering his calls. i screen all of them, and email back. I set up meetings when i need them.  but he will then call again. it is BIZARRE. no way am i calling the managing partner of his firm, not even sure who that is- its big law- but either way, i am not going to disrupt this relationship right now because we are close to finishing up so i need to find a way to passively manage him. he has started to seem angry about my lack of phone calls though, which feels weird. he is also VERY touchy when i correct him on anything. i emailed him the other day to say 'thanks for your analysis of X issue but please put a pin in any further work because we aren't moving forward on this angle right now..." and he sort of lashed back... and yes, i know how to manage outside counsel, this is an unusual situation...
