This man which supposed to be attorney Walter Moore told me that he'll take my son's case for $1,000 in cash up front I paid him the $1,000 and we never seen or heard from him anymore couldn't get appointment with him couldn't get a call back.... we want our money back and I like to know how I can ge...t it back

Posted by anonymous | February 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Waste of my Money and Time. No action and All Talk.

I hired Walter 2015. Paid him 1000 dollars for a simple Expungement case. I even looked up the code sections and gave them to him.(I am still waiting) He had two other attorney's there at the time. I went by his office several times. He Always had New Employees or A new attorney to help him with his ...cases. I did speak to him on occasion when i just dropped in unexpectedly and caught him there. He always gave me the same old line. Had to hire new people and he would work on my case asap. Also even offered me a 1500 dollar credit for future work. I said that would be worthless since you can not even do the work i hired you for. I said well put it in writing. Never did get that or any other promised paperwork or results. I think i may need to write a letter to the State review board and see if anything can be done. I mean this does sound like theft to me . I would not recommend using him from my experiences with him. Not dependable,No integrity,no action and all talk.

Dishonest, wished we never met.

This lawyer did not complete our case. He is currently being suspended by the GA BAR for substance abuse. He received our flat rate fee in full but did not deliver. He would not return calls, emails or texts. Would not show up for meetings even after we drove 12 plus hours to be there(we live out of ...town). He didn't tell us about a court date until the night before(after we just had a baby, again we live 12 hours away). He would be late if he did show up at all and had double booked our appointments more than once leaving us to talk to other clients at our scheduled time. Unprofessional in that he was supposed to turn in documentation for us but never did. Also failed to mention needing further documentstion which had the other side of our case trying to file a default judgment. Our case not being thrown out due to tjis lawyer's failures yet is by the grace of God ONLY!!! DO NOT HIRE!!!

Total waste of time and money. Stay away!!

Worst attorney ever. Should have read the bad reviews before I hired him. Paid his flat rate of $500 and then he just kept stringing me along, but never actually did anything. Didn’t show up for appointments, scheduled others at the same time and would leave the room constantly, leaving me sit in his... conference room for hours, never returned phone calls unless he calls you by mistake thinking you’re someone else, basically the worst kind of thief and liar. He doesn’t even deserve one star. This man should never practice law again. Stay away!!

Do not trust him

He took my money and then didn't want to answer. I came in his office and he was drunk telling me he would get it done if I would leave, but when I tried to call him again no answer. I will now have to pay 500 dollars to fix the issue on top of all the money I paid him.
