Posted by Liser | August 09, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Extremely Unprofessional and Negligent Lawyer

I hired Johnny Ramirez Castaneda to handle the eviction of a non-paying tenant who had become a nuisance to other tenants and neighbors. Despite the tenant failing to appear in court, Johnny Ramirez Castaneda failed to follow up with the marshals after receiving payment from me. For nearly two months..., I repeatedly tried to contact him, but my calls and messages were ignored. When I finally reached him, he claimed that I hadn’t paid for follow-up services—a charge that was never communicated to me. To resolve the issue, I had to contact the marshal's office myself, only to learn that the paperwork had been sitting on their desk for two months due to Johnny Ramirez Castaneda’s inaction. Once I took over, the issue was resolved within two weeks. Johnny Ramirez Castaneda demonstrated a lack of professionalism and disregard for clients. I would not recommend his services to anyone seeking legal help.

Aww this site is letting the same person post made up things. My response below to the previous "annoymouous" complaint is the answer to this post. I could care less about your recommendation. You forgot to mention that you FAILED to show up for your hearing and instead of your case being dismissed I resolved both of your cases.

Terrible Lawyer.

Doesn’t Pick up the phone. Absolutely no help. Don’t recommend. Overall just seems like it doesn’t really care to help. Tried reaching him for weeks after case was handled to no response. Find a better lawyer.

I spoke with this person on the phone today and on several other occasions. His case is OVER. He even states his case has been over for weeks. I was able to get the result he wanted even though he failed to show up to court for the hearing. He is venting here because of what other people are responsible for. I have no control over when law enforcement is going to do their job and execute the court order.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have Known Attorney Castaneda for approximately 18 years. His services are very much needed in our area. Not only has he handled Divorces and criminal cases, but he can handle theses matters for Hispanic clients. Quite often I can see the strange look on a Hispanic client's face and not know what their concern or fear may be. Mr. Castaneda can converse with his clients in Spanish or English, and provide for them all assistance that the law will allow. I have no reservation about referring you to him, if you have a need in his area of law. The Godfather, Jim Whitlock"

"I endorse this lawyer's work. As a fellow Attorney and friend of 14 years, I'm confident that Attorney Johnny R. Castaneda has the skill and knowledge base superior to those in his field. His legal expertise in the area's of medical malpractice and personal injury enabled many clients in obtaining their goal of winning. He has also been instrumental in obtaining the highest of settlements to meet his client's upmost expectations. As being also certified and licensed to practice as a RN in this state of Georgia, I am also pleased to say the standards upon which he maintains in the areas of Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury surpasses the standards upon which are set in the community. I thoroughly and fully endorse him."
