Worst case scenario for an attorney

Seth Katz is a client’s worst nightmare, He thinks that representing a client is simply adjourning every time a police officer shows up to Court, and changing your not guilty plea to guilty, not presenting evidence, and getting you the same penalties you would have received had you never hired an att...orney. He advertises on his website that he’s available 24/7. Up until you retain him, he’s available. Fine print in his retainer includes exceptions for contacting him before 9am and after 5:30pm. And, if you fall into a not flat rate category, you get billed for those after hours calls. I haven’t spoken with him after hours. I’ve called and went straight to voicemail after hours. There’s no answering service. And, because we never spoke after hours, I was not billed an after hours fee. Throughout the website are at least two false indicators that he or his firm are available 24/7. Yet when you call, almost always, you get a voicemail. Sometimes, you get a receptionist or other staff members who take your message that doesn’t get returned. I wish I had looked at the reviews online before retaining anyone associated with his firm. They all practice the same way. If you wanted to plead guilty, you could’ve and would’ve done so, and not paid an attorney to represent you. Seth had no compassion. No empathy. No moral compass. He cares about one thing- Katz Lawyers. Seth makes a claim on his website that he’s a renowned attorney. The only thing you find throughout your search are extremely poor overall ratings. You also can read through reviews of various people over the years who have had horrific and similar experiences. Go elsewhere! His website states the reasons you need an attorney. I agree with those reasons. The irony is, when you hire Seth:Katz Lawyers it’s almost there opposite of the infamous line from Forrest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” If you read the reviews, the overwhelming likelihood is stated throughout.
