Even one star feels too high

I was referred to James by my real estate attorney for a construction litigation matter, and I had hoped that perhaps the one-star reviews I saw here and on Avvo were anomalies. Unfortunately, they are a direct reflection of how James conducts business. He is rude, sloppy, and unprofessional. He rush...ed me off the phone the first time I spoke to him, sent me several emails and a contract that were laden with typos/errors, and then took an entire week to even confirm with me when I'd see a draft of the deliverable I retained him for. It was bad enough it took one entire week to establish a course of action, and it's worse that almost another week went by after I formally retained his services and I still had no timeline for when I'd see the deliverable, or when it could be served. While I'm angry about the lost time, I'm thankful that I don't have someone who behaves like James representing me. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney who is capable of establishing a better rapport with their clients.
