Larry Andrew Weisberg

I paid Larry 600.00 for an initial consult for an employment matter. I talked to him for one hour and reserved the other hour for him to look over my documentation. He did not follow up or give an opinion on my case. Months later I told him I arranged a mediation. He seemed excited and told me he w...ould bill me after mediation. His paralegal told me to send him the employer's position statement and my rebuttal right away. He took weeks to answer me. When we did get on the phone, there were just long silences. I have received zero advice, and he admitted he only read "some" of my rebuttal. When we had our appt to talk about mediation, he still didn't give me advice but he raised his voice to me and repeated the same question 4 times, but didn’t let me answer. He told me "I don't have a disability anyway".I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. He said I had a complicated case, meaning he took it before he realized how much work I needed. I sent him a few questions by email because it was too late to find another lawyer and catch him up to speed. He didn't answer any of them. I canceled the mediation because of my lack of faith in him and now have to start over minus 600 dollars. I told him I cancelled and bowed out nicely without calling him out. He claims that he's being charitable by not charging me for work he did towards my mediation, however I sincerely doubt he took the extra hour from the initial consult to go over anything | sent. So 2 weeks later he gets around to my old emails and is irritated because he thinks l'm looking for new advice, when he really just neglected my old emails. I told him in the first email that those were messages sent before l cancelled mediation, then he sends this email saying that I wanted too much for a settlement but never actually advised me what the value was, which makes me think he didn't know the value because he didn't read what I sent him. He sent another long email about how he's not representing me anymore and the way I'm taking it, he was inferring that he may need to start charging me for the email advice. I wrote him again and said "check your dates". I was willing to pay thousands but he didn't want to do the work and take it? He's acting as if he had quit, rather than the fact that I fired him in a nice way, and I didn't even argue that he wasted my time and money and ruined mediation. It's my assumption that he yelled at me and acted like a jerk so I would fire him (which I did) and he would be able to get out of the work he agreed to.
