Rip OFF

Hiring Eric Abney was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in a legal matter. He took my retainer, failed to file a single motion, and abandoned my case at a crucial time—without ensuring a proper transition, leaving me to defend myself. When I requested an invoice, he delayed providing it, and ...when I finally got it, it was full of questionable charges that appeared inflated and unjustified. After withdrawing, he continued to pressure me into accepting a one-sided settlement that benefited the opposing party rather than defending my rights. His handling of my case showed a complete lack of diligence, competence, and ethics. If you are considering hiring him, do yourself a favor and find an attorney who actually works for their clients instead of against them.

Mr. Carter, I regret that you feel dissatisfied with the representation you received. While I respect your right to share your perspective, I believe it's important to clarify that your review does not reflect the full scope of my efforts on your behalf. Throughout our time working together, I consistently offered legal guidance based on the facts of your case and the law as it applied. I understand that my advice may not have aligned with your desired outcomes, but my responsibility as an attorney is to provide sound counsel—even when that counsel may be difficult to hear. Regarding your concerns about billing and communication, I made every effort to address your questions and provide documentation upon request. I also want to note that after you filed a grievance with the State Bar of Georgia, the matter was reviewed and formally dismissed on May 12, 2025, with no findings of misconduct or ethical violations on my part. While I wish your experience had been different, I remain committed to treating all clients with integrity, diligence, and professionalism. I encourage any prospective clients to reach out directly with questions about my practice or approach. — Eric Abney, Esq., Attorney at Law
