Hard to prove

If she decides to press the issue, it will be hard to prove. It's your word against hers.
What if she says she used the materials that you provided for $350 and her bankruptcy petition was rejected? It's a fine line and, again, I wish you luck.

You stated "...they have nothing on file regarding my client." From a Connecticut perspective, I suggest you not call her a "client" - rather a "friend" or a "customer." The issue will boil down to semantics - was she a client that you gave legal advice to (by selecting and preparing a $350 binder for a bankruptcy case) or a "friend" you were trying to help.

FYI. In Connecticut some solo practioner Lawyers only charge $279 for complete bankruptcy filings. Maybe when your "friend" went to a lawyer for help and showed him the "$350 binder" (doubt she mentioned your time to research and prepare it) he told her she was overcharged. We have a We the People forms service that also charges less than $350, which includes "typing" the Court filing paperwork. Research your area to see what local bankruptcy forms preparers and attorneys are charging - use this to show that $350 is "the average or less than average" fee charged by a non-attorney to provide forms or information.
