Negligent and Dishonest Real Estate Lawyer

John recused himself of the basic responsibilities of a real estate lawyer: to conduct due diligence and to advocate on his clients' behalf. When we encountered problems with our contract, instead of trying to fully understand the situation and then advocate on our behalf, he accused us of acting... in bad faith and presented ZERO ideas or strategy for us to navigate the situation. I found myself in the position of doing my own research, presenting him with strategies, and then asking them to rehearse them with me over the phone so that he would come off as lawyerly and confident. Overall, this was a nightmare to have a lawyer with zero lawyerly instincts or responsibilities. He created an incredible amount of stress for my family and we had to fire him. Our new lawyer very gracefully handled our situation with ease and pleasure. John fought us at every step. Avoid his services at all costs.
