Possible? Sure. Likely? Depends on the terms of your billing agreement with the lawyer. Nothing that you state here seems immediately unreasonable in most circumstances, and assuming that the work that was billed was actually done, it's unlikely that the lawyer will budge much, or that you have a good claim for fee arbitration. It's also standard practice for minimum billable periods to be 15 minutes, so trying to make emails a 6-minute instead of 15 minute billable is unlikely.Assuming that all of these fees were disclosed in advance, usually in writing, you likely have little to no negotiating power here -- except that you have limited money, which lawyers know how to attach. If the fees were not disclosed, or were not fully disclosed, then you might have a claim that you could take to a fee arbitrator (most state bar associations offer this service for fee disputes) -- but depending on where you are, who your lawyer was, and the level of service provided (I'm guessing a $300/hour attorney is on the mid- to high-level), I'm thinking it's unlikely an arbitrator will take your side here.

Sure, absolutely, who could argue with this very simple stipulation?Also, if you get an email that says “by receiving this email, recipient agrees to immediately take off all their clothes and ride a unicycle naked through the closest downtown area, circling the city hall and post office no less than three times while barking like a dog”, you are obliged to do so. I can get you a good deal on a unicycle just in case, so -click here-.Seriously, no. The only way your example could be considered a legally binding instruction is if you have previously agreed, on the record, not to reveal the contents of any email you receive from that specific sender. If this is the case, then the boilerplate heading on the email is actually a reminder of what you have previously agreed to. (In my facetious example, I am of course just going to extremes to crack the reader up; you can’t be legally bound to an agreement that might force you into doing something illegal or otherwise totally unreasonable. I admit I am just making up my own version of the law here, and planning to apply it universally. If you got this email, sue me.)The thing is, you don’t have any control or knowledge over what emails you receive, so you can’t be compelled in advance to obey their stipulations simply by their stating that you must do so.A good analogy is how going “off the record” with a journalist works. Scenario: journalist is pursuing a story concerning which you have some insider knowledge.Joe Journalist: I’m a journalist for the Daily Dribble. Did your supervisor in the Dept of Highways ask a contractor to build him a free swimming pool in exchange for receiving a highway maintenance contract?Iggy Informer: yup, I was in the office and I heard him negotiating that very deal on the phone.JJ: Thank you very much.II: wha? That was off the record. I hate the bastard but I don’t want to lose my job.JJ: Sorry, that’s not how the record works. You knew I was a journalist on the job. If you want to give me information off the record, you have to tell me first that you want to be off the record, and I have to agree that your following remarks are off the record. Then I will be obliged to not write what you tell me, or say that you talked to me, unless we can come to an agreement on exactly how much of that story I can tell and how I can keep your name out of it. But we have to talk about that before we discuss the sensitive topic of your corrupt boss.Note: the swimming pool story is not an invention of mine. Joey Smallwood, the first premier of Newfoundland, actually said that to a journalist, as I recall, without quite admitting to the direct quid pro quo. He didn’t even ask to be off the record! Different times, me son.
