Looking for an attorney to dispute the unauthorized repairs by my property manager

Hi, my previous property management billed me for the repairs which I either did not approve or the billing amount was much higher than quoted. 

Since I received those bills after I left them, I declined to pay for them, and I received a demand letter from property management.

Is anyone have been in a similar situation? How would you recommend dealing with that and do you know someone who can assist?

@Pavel Feldman- This is something I'm going through with my former property manager right now.  However, each situation is unique.  Each property management contract is unique.  

Let's say your property manager contracted with an HVAC contractor to do repairs on your property.  Even though you may not have approved the repair, there are still legal theories that would allow the PM or the contractor to recover the value of the services provided.  It would be wise to try to have an attorney in the state where the property is located to review the property management contract and demand letter.
