Failure of Communication Duties

Formal Complaint Regarding Gross Misconduct and Professional Negligence by Mr. Bigney's Firm I am submitting a formal complaint regarding the egregious professional misconduct and negligence exhibited by Mr. Bigney and his firm in their purported representation of my legal interests. Mr. Bigney... and his firm utterly failed to negotiate on my behalf. This ia factual statement because Mr. Bigney and his staff have not provided any proof of any negotiations that took place or proof of any communication directly with anyone who would be involved with my case. This is a factual statement unless the Bigney Law Firm has new material to prove otherwise. This fundamental dereliction of duty is compounded by their inability or refusal to produce any documentation – emails or otherwise – substantiating negotiations on my case, and a withdrawal that occurred without any notification to me, their client. The outcome of my case was not merely unfavorable; it was demonstrably worse than the initial written offer extended by the State's Attorney's Office. This is a factual statement as I have incurred undue costs, contract losses and more. My subsequent request for a refund, a direct consequence of their inadequate and damaging representation, was met with contemptuous disregard, merely providing a link to the State Bar's website. This is a true statement as Mr. Bigney failed to notify his client that he was no longer providing representation. The catastrophic ramifications of their actions on my life are severe and undeniable: I am now precluded from international travel, directly jeopardizing my long-standing, full-time employment. This is a true statement as the State Guidelines for Diversion do not allow Interstate or International Travel. I face projected personal income losses approaching $400,000. This is true as I was unable to accept a new job position because I am prohibited from International travel. I was prevented from attending a critical family event planned for five years overseas. I have already missed this critical family event and this is a true statement. I was afforded a mere 16 hours' notice regarding my sole remaining legal option. This is a true statement unless Mr. Bigney and his firm can show any kind of communication which never happened over the course of 10 months. The profound and devastating impact on my professional and personal life has necessitated accepting new employment with significantly reduced compensation to comply with court mandates. This constitutes a clear pattern of professional malpractice and a complete disregard for client welfare. I demand a thorough and immediate investigation into these grave matters. A simple refund of Attorney's fees out of principle is in order and will not even remotely fill in the losses my family has already had. All enclosed statements are true and accurate as of 8/22/2025. No false words are included.

Bigney is the best

A big Thank You to David Bigney and staff. He is compassionate, available and highly skillful at his work. I highly recommend him. I hired him immediately after our initial consultation I was facing a felony charge which was reduced to a misdemeanor no conviction. He made this ordeal as painless as p...ossible.

Life saver Ron L

First, I would just like to say Thank you to Mr. Bigney and his whole team. Everyone was welcoming in his office and handled my cases with the utmost professionalism. I had 3 felonies, two of which were punishable by life in Prison. ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED. He took great care of my case and kept me ...involved the whole way and assured he believed in me. He gave me his personal cell and contacted me all the time. And thats the part that I need to talk about the most, I am and was innocent and at he always believed me and kept the faith, he would always contact me, sometimes in the middle of the night with breaking news in my case. He is truly the best defense attorney. I would recommend him to anyone that needs him. Thank you again Mr Bigney, you truly are a life saver.
