This Attorney is a rip off

Hired this attorney for breach of contract, he did nothing but file complaint then he withdrew. I asked fosome of my money back, but he refused!!! Do not hire this rip off attorney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take and run.

I hired him over a year ago, haven't done anything for me and won't call me back. Last time I called I had my wife call from another cell phone and he picked up.

This attorney is a scammer and will scam you out of your money

I retained this lawyer for a breach of contract case, he told me we would answer discovery and we set a date to do that, but when i called Mr. Johnson to come for the appointment time he never answered the phone. Then i go in hospital and listen at my voicemails when i get out and Derrick leaves a m...essage that he is withdrawing. Then when i put in a dispute with credit card company, this scammer of a attorney makes up a fake invoice that i have never seen to the dispute, and it is closed. leave this guy alone so you do not get ripped off!

Anonymous, it's all about the money

Would give him a zero star rating if possible. Hired and paid him in advance to handle a legal issue. After i advised him that I was not satisfied with, and questioned his inefficiency, he sent me another statement requesting even more money. Has no business being in the legal profession, don't waste... your money..

very dissapointed

I hire this Attorney to file an appeal. Attorney FILED the wrong appeal causing the appeal to be dismissed. Attorney stop returning my phones calls, offering no type of relief. on my money paid to him. I probably could have done better on my case myself. I cant believe an attorney could have been t...his incompetent and irresponsible. I would not recommend him to my friend, nor family unless they needed to be disappointed.
