Unprofessional
Very disrespectful , unprofessional and condescending. Cursed my mother out like if he was in the streets wow wow took her money and gets cursed out. .. If you know what’s best for you stay away .
I am deeply saddened that there was a breakdown in communication. Though warranted, there was no cursing. Please understand that clients have obligations too and lawyers can't work without their support. Please rely on the other 99% of my reviews. Thank you.
