He's a lawyer. Just like a doctor, mechanic, or insurance agent, it is their JOB to overcharge you.
Check with the Law Society on the fees he quoted and the scope of work he is engaged to do. Some lawyers include some unnecessary works that add up to a big bill.

Get an itemized list of what he has done for you. Find out what he bills per hour or service.
