Unpaid Employee

I am writing to share a warning regarding my experience working with this Attorney I previously completed work for him and was never compensated for my time. When I contacted him about payment, he explicitly stated that he would not pay me. I reported this issue to the State Bar, but they stat...ed that because he was a bar attorney, he was not obligated to pay me for the work I performed. I was glad to hear that his law license was subsequently taken away. I strongly advise against working with this individual.

Ticket

In 2005 I hired Jonathan to defend me on court for a ticket. I payed him the money and he told me he did everything. I just found out that the case is still open. He never payed the money to the court. I’ve tried to contact him but he has said he had no records saved of my case, basically he never p...ayed the ticket I gave him the money to pay. I do not recommend this lawyer.
