Lawrence Abel Wander

Lawrence Wander handled a real estate closing for me but his irresponsible neglect made it a nightmare. It was almost impossible to reach him. He keeps his cell phone voicemail filled so I couldn’t leave him messages. I rarely reached him (or anyone else) at his office and he either ignored my calls ...or returned them days later. He even ignored texts. He never showed any understanding of what I wanted so the contract had to be redrafted repeatedly until he got it right. Then he was completely unprepared for the closing so we had to reschedule it.

The judge in my case assessed $35,000 in sanctions against us because Wander repeatedly ignored paperwork and deadlines while telling me everything was fine. Wander told me to pay the sanctions but I refused to pay for his audacious irresponsibility and I said I would sue him. According to Wander, Wa...nder paid the fines by borrowing the money from a priest’s retirement savings by promising the priest that he would appeal the judge’s decision.
