MONEY GRAB
NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK/COPIES
NEVER HAD MY CALLS RETURNED
THEY SPOKE SO FAST AND CUT ME OFF MID SENTENCE
SHODDY OFFICE
So, here's the story. I Went to this office in November 2020. In the height of Covid they seemed to have no problem putting their hands o...n cash. I gave Jeff $225 dollars for initial consultation. Afterwards he told me it would be another $1000 to take the case. By January I managed to pull together the money. After his sticky fingers counted that and put it away he brought out the documents for me to sign stating that I'd owe another $2000 once all was said and done. I told him I didnt have that kind of money and he said I can make installments and he was willing to work with me. Reluctantly, I signed it. A week or so later he calls and says there is a $400 court fee before they can move forward. That being all I had I paid it favoring the long run of my case financially.
Some time later I'm given paperwork to fill out pertaining to my expenses and am rudely reminded that I still owe them $2000. That being stated, I told him once again that I dont have that kind of money and after seeing my expenses it should have proven so. Keep in mind, after filling said paperwork out no one offered to make a copy or even make copies of my pay stubs, divorce decree etc...etc... thereby giving me back my ORIGINAL paperwork.
I had to visit my mother in March as she was dying so everything was put on hold. Upon returning I had begun to speak with Robyn (barely being able to finish a sentence let alone understand what she was saying since they all speak ridiculously fast). The first week or so of April was a bit of phone tag. Once finally getting a hold of Robyn she told me I had a bit more to sign and then they'll move forward. After more phone tag I finally just showed up at the office in the hope of simply signing what I needed to. I was met with "you can't just show up. I'll call you on Monday and we can plan accordingly."
Monday comes, more phone tag. I call continuously for two weeks. "She's in a meeting, I can take a message." Or, I would get her on the phone but she was conveniently in the middle of something and she'll call me back. Bear in mind that I'm doing all of this on my breaks at work. Two to three times a day.
In May I finally stopped kicking the horse and sent them this email in June:
(I am sending you this email in regards to $225 for R&R, $1000 in attorney fees and $400 in court costs which were handed to you in cash on 11/17/2020 1/12/2021 1/26/2021. I am requesting a refund of $1400 due to the fact that no progress has been made on this case. I have not received copies of any paperwork that I've signed and/or handed over. I have made numerous attempts at speaking with my lawyer, Robyn Dragon, only to be met with dismissal and no returned calls. I have put aside these funds specifically for this case in order to have my child support reduced. I feel as though this matter has been tossed to the side and every pay period I am hemorrhaging money. I can no longer afford to have my situation placed on the back burner due to negligence which seems to be brought about by a money grab (as stated by previous clients in reviews about this entity). Currently I am in dire need of these funds as I have fallen behind in my bills. I'd like to think that you would want to preserve whatever integrity your firm has left before I decide to send a copy of this email to the better business bureau and place it under any reviews that can be found online. I would appreciate my money returned in a more timely manner than your phone calls.
Please send cash or check to:
Thank you for your time, rather, your lack thereof.)
It is now August 2021 and I have not had any kind of response whatsoever. Nine months and $1625 of money I dont have is gone. Prior to this I had little to no experience with lawyers. Now though, I ge
