Robert A. Banks

WORST ATTORNEY EVER. Complained about working "for less money" as I am pregnant and I am having a c section and trying to get a rental. I went through Neighborhood Legal Services and so it was discounted to save my son from his dad's horrible housing situation. The point of discounted is for individu...als who need help but can't afford $2500-$4000 for a retainer. He made a vast amount of threatening and inappropriate statements to me and my mother in office. We spent hours sitting with him so he could type up the case and have the story straight to explain to the judge my son should be with me. He told me he was going to file an emergency petition so my son couldn't leave the state. He had me highlight the conversations where I stated I did not give my ex permission to enroll him in school via the co parenting app. He ended up giving my case to my ex when I have full custody per the legal parenting plan. Substantial evidence was provided to my attorney to prove I live with my mother in Beaver County and he NEVER presented them to the judge to show her that I was a resident. He also did not summon my witnesses to provide more evidence of my residence and my fiance who was willing to truthfully testify the west Virginia house was his. My ex said I lived in West Virginia, which was my fiance's residence, and they ran with that when I HAVE ample proof. The judge interviewed my son off record and he stated we stayed at the residence out of state not LIVED there, and the judge counted that as I lived there. The attorney did not even show her my evidence. He was hitting on the other attorney and laughing with her instead of caring about my son's well being. My ex kept my son from talking to me and he did not know about the residence situation. He thought I would have moved in there, but my son didn't know that I stayed at my mother's and my fiance moved in with us because I'm having a baby. I took my ex for contempt charges for with holding my son in 2020 and I dropped the contempt charges because he sent him home and was threatened to send him home or jail time. I provided that evidence as well as a bunch of other evidence. My ex had NO relationship with my son for 5 years of his life, then started tons of drama and lies. My ex had an attorney fire HIM because he got caught in his lies.This attorney will take your money and screw you. Do not hire you will regret it cause money is everything to this greedy man.
