Emil Ward

Emil could not win a slam dunk case on back rent due by tenants. He and his associate Andrew never got the full information and allowed the judge to vacate the motion and ultimately rule in favor of tenants for missed rent. There was no case by the tenants neither did they have a lawyer. He is just h...appy to collect your money, will do nothing to win.

When I first asked Emil with regard to the demand letter by my tenants' attorney, he asked me to send him my response letter. On the second day of daunting task of writing a response, I called to get Emil’s email address, he then asked me send a summary which was far more manageable request. He wo...uld get back the next day after receiving my summary but he did not. As I did not hear from Emil over a week, I thought he would not take the case. So I frantically started preparing response letter in remaining days to be within the limit since Emil was not sure when the 30 day ends by saying “the 30 day is a gray area” . (I received the certified letter a week after post mark ) . My husband and I dropped everything else to work on the letter for two weeks and barely sent off certified mail a week before the dead line. Next day Emil sent me an abrupt email accusing me of not sending him a copy of “Notice to Quit”. So I gave him the benefit of doubt thinking he got confused and clarified that he never asked for that and instead Emil was supposed to get back two weeks ago. He responded that his move into cooporate office delayed ( I later found from his secretary that he never moved from the current office). After some phone tagging, Emil called next day asking about the demand letter contents. I responded him that I already finished the response and sent off since we had left only several days to allow the certified mail delivery. I asked Emil, though, to represent me in the future since the matter with my tenants was likely to continue. For which Emil agreed and asked for a copy of my response letter (17 pages long) and I did sent him. However, he suddenly said that he was busy with other case and referred another attorney to bring my case. That referred attorney sounded very old and tired. He asked me resolve any issue with the tenant and come back to him. If I could resolve any contrived issues my tenants have, I would not need an attorney. I thought Emil at least read the demand letter ( although it was too late) the morning he called, I was going to hire him but he evaded me and his referral was terrible. If he was too busy, he should have referred a decent one. Emil seemed to have attitude and does not feel anything wrong for leaving the client stood up for two weeks approaching 30 day limit and came up with a lie for the delay and repeatedly asked me to go to Jerry, his referral. If Emil does that to you, don’t go to Jerry.
