Jordan Jessica Tapia

This review is more about Attorney Jordan's firm (Moss&Tapia Law LLC), but I think She is not innocent because she is one of the two partners in this firm and is thelawyer who takes care of my case. Does this firm have professional ethics? Are they being honest with their client? I highly doubt it.... My experience with this firm is a disaster. It's about contacting you "diligently" to get your lawyer fee paid but be negligent and insincere when they think me is not a wealthy client. After following our tenant-landlord dispute case for six months and charging us a 1.5k lawyer’s fee, my case finally fell into the legal proceeding. However, shockingly, this firm told us that they are unfortunately not able to represent us because they are not qualified because we live in upstate, and also they don’t have time to dedicate to my case. This, is a total lie and after I pointed out their pretexts pointedly, all attorneys in this firm remained silent again. I am not the type of person who is cynical and think people in a bad way. But in this case, I need their explanation but I doubt they could give me a reasonable one. It's laughable that they even don't found that the reasons given are self-contradictory. If the first reason (not qualified) is the truth, then the second reason(no time) is redundant, right? It's pathetic that your lawyer would choose to lie to you. They are not giving the real reason why they refused to take my case.They are covering their inappropriateness in taking a client's case with greed. When I first contact this firm six months ago. they told me that they could handle our dispute but we have to sign a new representation agreement in the situation that my case go to court. I agreed. What type of lawyer would fail to disclose that he/she is not able to represent the client? Shouldn't Attorney David Moss know that this fact is critical for a client to evaluate whether to hire this firm? If they are truly unqualified to represent my case because we live in upstate, then their practice is highly unethical from a client's stand of point. I want to ask Attorney David Moss and Attorney Jordan Tapia: If you have known that all along for 6 months, why not tell us in the beginning? Why waste our time? Why gives us the expectation that you would represent us in court if the dispute worsens? Don't you know this fact is critical for us? If we had know that your qualification is lacking then we won't hire you in the first place! However, there is another theory in my mind. Even though I am not a lawyer, I can see they are just lying to me without giving me the real reason. They are either not hoping to earn a decent amount of attorney from us or they are just incompetent in dealing my case. That's why I hope they could give us some legitimate reasons like “not expecting us could afford the representation fee.” That would make me feel better. But “not qualified to representation” and “not having enough time to dedicate”? What? You are saying that after knowing all the facts and evidence for six months, you finally “found out” that you are not qualified to represent our case and you have NO TIME to prepare? I take them as a total lie and pretext. I was expecting my lawyer would be honest with me. But this experience totally shatters my expectation for what a lawyer would be like. After I received the court’s hearing document weeks ago, I contacted this firm immediately because they have followed my case till now and I expected them to be well prepared for this case. First, they told me to adjourn the hearing, which I totally understand because perhaps they needed more time to prepare. However, they remained in total silence for ten days without contacting me! (The hearing date is coming) If I had not contacted them today, they would not tell us that they could not take our case! Do you really care about your client? I doubt it!
