Alan Brian Jones

Mr. Jones was hired to handle a routine civil action to collect delinquent homeowner association dues. In my opinion, Mr. Jones was wholly unprepared when appearing before the magistrate to hear this case. He had not reviewed essential background documents or relevant courthouse filings, nor did he... confer with me about the background of the case. Therefore, he was unable to put forth a legal argument to support the case, to rebut the opposing attorney's positions or to respond knowledgeably to questions from the magistrate. When confronted with these observations / complaints following dismissal of the case, he tried to excuse his lack of preparedness and refused to return any portion of the fees which, in my opinion, he did NOT EARN. I would have done better by representing myself.
