Like scammy dudes with no ethics? Search no more.
His billing practices are obscene and he is a condescending beady-eyed nutcase who thrives on attention, deception, and drama. I’d avoid the whole firm TBH. It takes them 9 hours to write a POA. .at least I can say the documents he created were pretty good.
