Khari Peter Prescod

Lawyers have a bad reputation for a reason. Mr. Prescod was the exception. He was responsive and kept me informed when I called and had questions. He gave me various options as to how he could be helpful, and let me make the decision based upon that information. I highly recommend him and would use h...im again.

I have used khari several times starting last year, on a civil case, family court cases, and real estate housing case. I thought so highly of him I had him work my parents divorce case. In a bevy of cases khari has shown that he is a resilient, passionate, determine lawyer. He shows up early for ever...y case. Works on each case like its the only one. He connects with you and guides you step by step until the case is done. If your looking for a lawyer that will listen and alway find time for you when you call khari is your guy.

Not to long ago I posted a review for an attorney that I hired from Avvo's website. I retained Mr. Khari Prescod for a custody case that was later withdrawn by the petitioner. At first, I wrote a glowing review because I still need Mr. Prescod's advice despite the fact he made several mistakes duri...ng my case such as: 1) Forgetting to notify my child's court appointed attorney about an up coming court appearance 2) Mailing a request for appearance to the petitioner by traditional mail instead of having them served or sending it by registered mail to ensure the petitioner received it. 3) On the day of my court appearance I went to use the restroom and when I returned, Mr. Prescod had been called into the referee's chambers and didn't bother to wait for me ( I believe this was most crucial because if I had been in the referee's chambers, I truly believe the visitation situation that I originally hired Mr. Prescod for would have been resolved). Granted, Mr. Prescod did not charge me for that court appearance or the up coming appearance because of his mistakes, which I appreciated. However, these mistakes were made. I retained Mr. Prescod's services for $2700 and the majority of the retainer went towards phone calls between Mr. Prescod and I in regards to strategies to use to allow he and the child's law guardian to speak ( I had a very hostile referee who was clearly biased). After the case was dismissed, I had spoken to Mr Prescod about receiving documentation of the case and the temporary visitation order being dismissed. However, because of the lack of communication on Mr. Prescod's behalf, and he not making an effort to get the needed document until a month later( the case was dismissed on 09/14/17 and I didn't receive the document until 10/17/17) I do feel its only fair that potential customers know about my experience with Mr. Prescod.

This attorney is a hustler, he gives you a set price to handle your case, really reasonable, but then he keeps adjourning and dragging out your case, making things worse while he nickel and dimes you into paying more and more money, double or more than the original price. When he drains you of all... your money, he will then file to withdraw from your case without completing what you have hired and paid him to do, leaving you actually worst off than before you hired him, with very little time and money left. One of his many cons is that he never gives you a retainer, and does that so he can later go into Court and tell the Judge that there is no retainer between you and him, and that he is no longer your attorney, to which the judge will relieve him. This Attorney really has his con down to a science, milking desperate people of their hope and money. This attorney should not be able to practice law. Please be warned and very careful if you choose to hire this attorney, and at the very least make sure to have a written and signed agreement to all of his false promises, in order to protect yourself. It will be much cheaper, and extremely better to hire another more expensive Attorney, one who will actually be your advocate, instead of their own.
