I made an appointment with this firm by telephone. The day of my appointment the lawyer called me and was extremely confrontational and rude. Apparently there was a miscommunication with his secretary about our appointment, and instead of calling in a calm manner to discuss the issue he called and y...elled and told me he was not able to help us as his time was billed at $375 an hour and we were wasting his time by not calling his secretary back or saying why we were coming in. All this had already happened, and I was completely taken aback. Maybe time for a secretary and lawyer to have a communications class!. I would not recommend this firm, as a business owner myself, the worst customer service ever received and not a way to start a relationship with prospective clients. Quite happy I learned this so early on as I prefer people with a positive and professional outlook.

We hired this attorney in July 2014 to foreclose on a delinquent loan in Maryland. The foreclosure sale was on Feb 27, 2015. However, he was not thorough in his work and did not send the proper notices to some agencies. However, he kept saying the sale is in the process of ratification as late as Sep...tember 2015. Then he went dark on us. Contacted his firm in November to find out he was "NO LONGER" with this firm. We were not notified of his departure and how it was going to be handled. We have incurred high financial loss due to this incompetency and irresponsibility. We have hired a different firm to execute the foreclosure.
