It is difficult to respond to a review posted nearly 3 months ago that I was just notified about. It is even more difficult to respond to a review written by someone who does not give his/her name. This person claims, notwithstanding the review, that he/she hired me. I have no such client. This person gives no specifics as to how I was allegedly rude, and claims they are an immigrant with an accent, with covers about 60% of my client base. What that is supposed to mean, I have no idea. With respect to money, that would only have been discussed if I was asked about it. As a divorce attorney, I am required to tell clients what the state rules are regarding payment of legal fees in divorce matters, and that there must be a written Retainer Agreement. I never spoke to this person in my office. If this person was somehow offended by that, that is their problem. I am required by law and ethical rules to disclose this information. I suspect I also told this person I would not consult over the telephone. The reason for this is that I do not want to give incorrect legal advice I could be held responsible for, without being able to verify all the facts. This requires an office conference. I never met with this person. I never represented this person. I am at a loss as to how he/she can review me. If this person wishes to discuss their review with me face to face, and disclose their identity, I would be happy to do so. I will await their response.
