Divorce case

I hired Mr. Samuel Wolf as my divorce attorney. He was paid in full for his services. In March I received notice that my exwife and her attorney proposed a settlement agreement (first draft). I told Mr. Wolf that I would like to discuss the agreement proposal. Mr. Wolf emailed me and told me that he... was on medical leave with no access to the telephone or computer and he stated that his colleague Mr. Nicholas Mahoney will contact me with the name of the lawyer that will handle my case while he is on medical leave. The colleague or the lawyer never called. I called Mr. Mahoney and he stated to me that he dont know why Mr. Samuel told me that. We are not friends like that and I am struggling with my business as well. Mr. Mahoney did not know what I was talking about. I emailed Mr. Wolf again, after speaking with Mr. Mahoney and let him know what he said. I got an email back stating Mr. Wolf is unavailable at this time and that he is on medical leave until further notice and to contact Sasha Holguin Esq., she can direct me to the proper party at 718 923-6300. I called the number and this is the number to file a complaint against your lawyer. that being said, Now who will help with settling my divorce case in the final stages? I have paid for services that were not rendered. Now what, I cant afford to pay another lawyer.

Disappeared with our deposit

Hired him for coop purchase. He delayed it saying his Mother died then he disappeared with our escrow money. Has anyone had the same issue ?

Real Estate

I hired Mr. Wolf for a Eviction. Mr. Wolf had me sign an Agreement the day before Stipulating a set payment agreement. I went to the bank and deposited money into his wife's bank account. He appeared in court on my behalf , he was supposed to get a continuance. Instead he called me with a settlement ...offer. I agreed to it. Afterwards he called me and demanded full payment. When I explained to him I would be able to pay with the schedule we agree upon, he told me he would let me get a judgment against me and hung up. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I am in Sam Wolf.

Replied last December 30, 2014

I successfully convinced my client's landlord to forgive ALL of her rent arrears. Instead of having to repay approximately $20,000.00 of back rent , she now owes zero dollars! My retainer also stated that payment was due in full upon a settlement or disposition. I apologized to her if this was unclear.
