WARNING!!!

I was going thru a divorce and hired Mr. Banks to represent me. He forgot to include one of the cars that I paid off while we were married so my wife got to keep it. He also charged me $6,000 dollars for work he allegedly performed less than two weeks after retaining his services. By the time my divo...rce was complete, I had paid almost $8,000 dollars, got no custody of our 13 year old daughter, and was ordered to pay over $500 dollars a month in child support. Afterwards, While standing outside of the court room trying to figure out what just happened, Mr. Banks walked up and told me that he thought that went well...! Two weeks later I receive a bill from Mr. Banks stating I still owed him $1,300 dollars. Still upset, I reviewed all of the invoices and realized that I had actually overpaid him. This man had the audacity to tell me that they made an accounting error and I still owed him the $1,300!!! I politely told him to take me to court and hung up. I never received another phone call from Mr. Banks. There is not a rating low enough that I could give this man.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
