Took CASH as the retainer. He said to give him more as it lessens the amount potentially available to the ex wife. Give back the excess at the end. Well, once he had the cash it was all gone!!! Padded the expenses. Took 20K and did nothing for it. Then asked for another 5k to finish....... Are you... kidding me, a thief amongst lawyers. Tried to get in touch with him when the ex came to try and empty the house I just bought again.... he was no where to be found!!! Terrible job, thief and really classless. I guess CASH taints even lawyers who are supposed to be protecting you.

Should have taken the "lawyerratingz" site more seriously. I'm not experienced dealing with lawyers, but I thought that you would "get what you paid for". Apparently not. I don't know him on a personal level, so this is strictly a business opinion. I feel he is totally inept as a attorney, whether on... purpose or by accident. My experience with him representing me was the equivalent of getting punched in my face repeatedly, while keeping my hands in my pockets and him watching. Sadly, the outcome would have been better if I never crossed his path. Feel like I was the victim of a "Ponzi scheme". In my particular case, there were issues that were never touched on, which I felt played a significant role in the outcome. Tough lesson learned and I accept responsibility for my decisions. With that being said, Karma doesn't discriminate. It can be quite tough when it comes back around.

Extremely expensive ($350 hr) attorney who has highly questionable billing practices. Expect to be billed $90 just to have a court date notification letter sent to you. Will talk a big game with lots of bravado all the while cunningly underbidding his services so as to enable himself to "replenish" t...he retainer once it is exhausted ... which will be gone in lightening speed. And do not expect to be provided with the contracted services he said he would provide - he is a paper tiger who will shrink when it's time to perform. Oh, that is if he remembers to show up on the scheduled court date or the correct time. Check out the "Lawyerratingz" website if you want to know the type of representation you will be paying huge $$$ for. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
