very rude

Called for a consultation, and he was very rude, patronizing me, and wouldn't even let me finish a sentence. Definitely not the kind of person you want to work with if being treated with respect is important to you.

Response from Michael Gove September 1, 2014

I am sorry you were dissatisfied with your initial call to our office, and thank you for bringing this experience to my attention. I try to ensure all interactions are polite and professional. Before discussing any case in detail, all attorneys are required to take basic information about the parties so they can confirm there is no potential conflict with past or current clients. When you started to tell me the facts of your situation, I had no choice but to cut you off before I had heard too much. I apologize this came across as rude, and that I wasn’t able to better explain this requirement before you ended the conversation.
