First question: How much were these online classes that she signed up for?

Second question: Did she drop the classes within the school's prescribed time for a full refund? Schools usually have a policy that dictates that you only have a few days to drop and not pay full tuition.

Third question: Are these the same classes she originally signed up for?
Your letter makes it seem like you had no previous contact with the school and suddenly received a bill in the mail or at best they "auto-enrolled" her in the follow-on classes assuming she had successfully completed the original course work she'd signed up for in the summer. I can't imagine that a school would just send a bill for something that you or your wife hadn't agreed to/signed up for at some point, although I could be wrong!
I think your best bet is to find out what the school's refund policy is on dropped classes and ensure that you met their deadline for a full refund. Assuming you did, or at least dropped in time to get a partial refund, you should reference their policy in all future correspondence.
Last question: Did you really give this to an attorney to handle?
