conflict of interest

Timothy was the closing attorney when my then husband and I purchased a home in 2017. He was an amazing closing attorney and I trusted him to the point that I returned to him a few years later asking him to help me in the fight for said home. He demanded a $500 retainer which I paid that day (I s...till have the receipt). A week or two later he called stating he couldn't represent me as it was a conflict of interest. I asked for my $500 to be returned. He refused stating he'd earned that money. I called his office several times to argue this and the last time he stated I should have received an itemized bill for his services. I NEVER received this and my understanding is he shouldn't have accepted money from me knowing this was a conflict of interest the day I came into his office. I never hid the fact he was the original closing attorney! So he took my money (a single mom trying to make ends meet at the time and trying to save my home! and refused to repay this!) I find this crook like behavior. Send me your itemized report showing how you used my $500 when it was a conflict of interest or return my money! I've thought of small claims court as I HAVE my receipt still but I'd be battling an attorney! A crooked one at that!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
