He is a crafty lawyer

I found him on LegalMatch. He had many good reviews with a few bad ones. I thought nobody was perfect so I ignored the few bad ones. Here is what went on. He told me not to talk about certain details in the court. And he told me all these small details would be covered by the agreement. Yet the d...etails he made with my lawyer were the not the same he told me. And the details on the agreement is almost killing me. Later when I asked for his note, he refused to show it. I asked him to contact my ex-‘s lawyer, he said he couldn’t. Everything would be according to the transcript. And the transcript didn’t have details I talked with Mr. Prendergast because he told me not to talk about it on the court. After the court, he claimed he couldn't talk to my lawyer anymore (that was before I terminated our contract). He refused to give me an itemized sheet after I terminated the contract, writing “With regard to my time, you paid a non refundable retainer which etained my services. I can give you the cases law on this but I follows exactly what is needed. Therefore if you "fire me” you don't get "your money back" Many many people do that and that is why we have non refundable retainers. That basically is a scam and you are not the first person to try that.” So I wrote him this email “I had great memories. I remember how we signed the contract and how you didn't give me a copy with page numbers written by me. And you substituted with other papers and said it was because of printer problem. You said all the stuff on the substitute was the same as the original. I remember you said you would return what was left. You know what you did to trap me. And when I ask for a time sheet it is common sense not spam. Yes you are a lawyer and proof is what you count on. And that was why you took pictures that day. May God deal with you.” And to this he responded “you have a new attorney so I cannot speak to you.” He surely was not for me. Once he felt he secured the money from me, he avoided doing anything . I ended up in a situation like this: I need to move out in 2 weeks as set in the agreement but have no money to do so. My ex- actually earns $130K/year. We have a condo that was paid off. And I have no money to move because of Mr. Prendergast's service.

horrible

does not return calls, mailbox is always full cannot even leave a message, if your lucky he will show up for your court date and you might have a few minutes for him to fill in the blanks of your unprepared divorce decree. Pension, property, spousal support etc. that were awarded to me were not worde...d correctly in the decree(pension was suppose to have a QDRO filed and it wasn't done) so it can't be enforced it's all meaningless....my decree was reviewed by another attorney and I was told it was poorly done UGH!!!!WHAT A WASTE!!
