Posted by Roger | February 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

The guy ripped me off

This guy sounded good on the phone interview. I thought he could/ would help with my concern. It became apparent very quickly he did not follow my instructions and that he was just milking my retainer fee for all he could get. He was taking care of his interest, not mine. His tune changed after he re...ceived my retainer, and after he sent, or said he sent, two useless letters that received no reply from who he sent them to. He could not justify his actions, but rather started suggesting that more money would be needed to continue to do work, only in a different manner than what we agreed upon. A good attorney should know how to approach a case in a direct manner to help with a client's concern. Yastion just did what he could do to take care of his own pocket. Avoid this attorney. Look elsewhere, and be very careful.

Dear Roger: I am sorry you did not have a positive experience which is what I strive to achieve for every client. The outcome of litigation is always uncertain but we try our best in every case to apprise the client of each course of action in advance and leave the decision as to how to proceed with the client. Again, I am sorry you had a bad experience with our firm and wish you the best of luck in the future. James Yastion, Esq.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
