Rude is an understatement.

To say Mr McAdams is rude is just the tip of the ice berg. I expressed that I was keen to retain him for my landlord tenant matter. I had two consultations with him for which he demanded cash. He would not be transparent as to if he would take my case , putting one in the position to feel they are be...ing strung along , and that one who thinks they are a prospective client for Mr mcAdams is nothing more than an ATM machine . Mr mcAdams refuses to answer any questions you may have , and becomes irate if you simply speak. He is working in a train of thought that jumps around and although one does their best to keep up & pull up documents at the speed in which he demands, is simply not good enough and he will not hold back to express his dissatisfaction. A simple answer to his question “ where is document A?” “ I sent it” he will make commentary that you are being curt. Funny since at the last consultation in which I gave him $500 in cash, after one hour he was done- becomes irate if one tries to speak- will not even muster basic perfunctory pleasantries- but happy to tell you “ I have Yale professor who wants my advice” and then just starts dialing the phone. What is the point of pretending you are one of the good guys, “ I don’t do evictions” , as he said to someone on a phone call he picked up, ahem, during our consultation. Is there a discriminatory element here I wonder, as I am a woman? I would stay away from someone, anyone who thinks this an appropriate way to treat prospective clients. The desperate milieu at housing court seems to turn those who maybe started out with good intentions , to the very thing they allege they are fighting.
