This man, unfortunately, has serious mental health issues, and in psychiatric counseling, .He failed to take my advice on the proper course of action in his divorce case. He consistently pushed me to settle his case, against my advice without conducting additional discovery that was sorely needed to prove his wife's financial transgressions. Against my advice, mediation was conducted without the proper proof to establish her transgressions. He threatened suicide if the case was not settled immediately. He received competent representation at mediation January 2019, resulting in his reviewing, understanding and signing a Settlement Agreement. Soon thereafter, a final judgment was entered. Later he learned of his former wife's lifestyle and he became unhinged. In March 2021 he sent me outrageous, ludicrous text messages. Immediately I called him in an attempt to correct his bad memory, but he continued to spew nonsense. At that time I learned that he had slandered my good name. In April 2021, in an attempt to correct his bad memory, I sent him a seven-page letter describing the details of my representation. A few days later he called me and stated that upon receiving my letter he realized that he had made a lot of horrible decisions in his case. I explained to him the law of slander. I have not sued him because of his mental health deficiency. Instead, I asked him for a letter of apology. A few days later I received a written apology. I assumed that the matter was concluded but today August 16, 2021 when reviewing my Avvo profile, I noticed his blatantly inaccurate review posted February 3, 2021. During my conversations with him, March and April this year he did not divulge that he had written this false review.
