The Worst Attorney Ever!

Beware of this guy. He is out strictly for working the process as slow as possible while billing you to the max. Run in the other direction to any other attorney in the area. He will blatantly disregard what you are trying to accomplish. My struggles were specifically in the area of guardianship.... He ended up costing me the guardianship case where we had opportunities to win it along the way if it had been with any other minimally proactive attorney. He should be locked up for thievery, nothing honorable or lawyerly about this guy.

Do NOT Hire

We hired Mr. Ducker for a very simply, uncontested guardianship case for $4000.00 in September of 2016 for a family member with minimal monthly social security income and no owned property after a sudden traumatic brain injury. After three and a half months, and two cancelled hearings, we were no cl...oser to helping our suddenly disabled family member than before representation. We informed Mr. Ducker that our family member's social security was being stolen, and that his apartment was being illegally accessed, yet there was never a sense of urgency with him. The saddest part was that our relative languished in the hospital for this entire time, as we were unable to transfer him, change his insurance or get him improved medical care. After all of this time, our relative now needs total care in a nursing home at the age of 63. Mr. Ducker allowed two hearings to be cancelled, never notifying us of either cancellation, one of which we spent an exorbitant amount of money to travel to from out of state. He never returned phone calls, never kept us updated or apprised of changes, and never gave us the promised monthly statements to see just how our money was being spent. He was easily intimidated and allowed false evidence to be presented to the court by our family member's court appointed attorney. His level of incompetence is absolutely astounding. We had to fire him and hire another attorney who then informed us that none of his petitions were not properly filed. We STRONGLY suggest that no one ever hires this "attorney" for ANY case. How anyone can take advantage of families during such a turbulent time is unconscionable. How he remains in practice is a mystery. We reported Mr. Ducker to the Florida Bar Association.
