Review David Moore

Consultation

Posted by

Paid $250.00 for a 20 minute phone consultation. Felt like I was being rushed, you think? Wouldn't recommend him! Save your money.
This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
Consulted attorney
David Moore's response: Fails to mention that there were documents to review that she had failed to produce and that the consultation was going to be continued after the documents were provided. Also fails to mention that her money was refunded because no consultation could occur without the document review. I will always accept fair criticism but this is completely unfair and a half truth.
