Mishandled and destroyed my case!

After getting a referral from a police entity to use Mr. Stewart in a criminal and civil case against my husband, he failed me miserably, mishandled my case, cared not about me, was egotistical and judgmental. His secretary was just as bad, if not worse. I ended up losing a restraining order that I... had on my husband, having never gone before a judge to decide the case, because Mr. Stewart failed to appear and sent his ailing secondary staff to represent, going up against a local attorney, related to the DA, whose sole purpose in life is to obtain custody for the wrong parent, using whining and crying and extension of times to prolong the agony. I ended up handing over my children to a volatile man without ever hearing my case against this man for the harms he had done. I would have been in contempt of court had I not done so. Mr. Stewart is a poor attorney at best. He required big retainers and did little to nothing but add up his hours to charge me more for not doing anything. After two months of hell, I gave up and signed a stupid agreement written by my husband and his lawyer, that didn't help me one bit, and just giving up because there is no justice in this world, especially using an attorney like him...I hired another attorney and the grief continued. Because the case went sideways to begin with, I never had a leg to stand on, and I blame it solely on Jack Stewart. I ended up turning him into the board for misconduct and he did credit some fees he had charged me. Surely, the price paid was way bigger than the money I threw at him, because my life has never been the same since.
