Jonathan Everett Mills

I hired Jon for a simple pre-trial dismissal. He offered a discount, and seemed kind enough, initially. Fast forward to when we're finally in the process of getting it expunged, and he's a nightmare. He never returns emails, and on the phone he outright said he "couldn't believe we were harassin...g him so much when we only paid _____." News flash, Jon, we wouldn't "harass" you if you would return our attempts at contacting you. Furthermore, starting July 28, I sent him five emails—one every few weeks—simply trying to find out the current status of my case. The fifth one I sent today, October 22, and he finally responded—to tell me, out of the blue, he was firing me as a client, "given the circumstances." This came as a shock, and when I asked what "the circumstances" were, his response was, and I quote, "The circumstances are that I am tired of your e-mails." Once again, Jon... if you hadn't taken almost three months to respond to a single, simple status check, I obviously wouldn't have had any reason to send more than one email. He further expressed frustration that I, at one point earlier in the year, had taken over a month to respond to an email from him. That's true, I had done that. But when I did respond to it after that month and a half, I expressed sincere apologies and explained I had totally forgotten because I'd been traveling, I was sorry it took so long, it wouldn't happen again. Not to mention, prior to this incident, he was already almost as bad at responding and would require multiple emails to receive any kind of reply. And he certainly never expressed any indication he was harboring some kind of long-standing grudge about it. Bottom line, don't hire Jon unless you want someone who will tell you to your face you didn't pay him enough and someone who will ignore your emails for three months, then fire you for trying to get in contact with him.
