Takes money and does nothing. Won't respond

I hired Mr. Harrington to fight a case for me in November involving a car dealer who I bought a car from remotely. The car arrived in a condition with so many undisclosed problems, it had to be scrapped for parts. He agreed to fight my case which involved submitting all of my documents against the de...alers bond in FL. He said it would take about 60 days. He was fairly responsive at first telling me he had submitted the documents but after the 60 days had passed, he refused to pick up the phone or answer any emails from me. I've tried dozens of phone calls and emails over the last 5 months with no response. I will be filing a complaint with the Florida bar.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

I hired this attorney in July 2024 and paid the fee for representing me against a car dealership and have only received a couple of responses from him even after my numerous calls and emails. He has done nothing for me on my case to date and will not communicate back. Find someone else... do not us...e him. I am going to file a formal complaint with the Florida Bar.

Believe all the horrible reviews

First like most of the reviews, I wish I had believed the few I read. Just don't hire him. He strung me along for years. YEARS. Just when I thought he had actually given up, he'd email me with an update. Usually about once every three months. This was all supposed to be finished by Feb 24, but the l...ast I heard from him was Oct 23. The first red flag is he wanted to get paid via cashapp. I wired him the money. I checked the bar and he's in clear standing. So I had to hire another lawyer. They checked to see if he ever filed anything. Nope. Zero. Nothing. This car is becoming a nightmare and I needed HELP. Hopefully this new lawyer can finish the job and of course more money. He's just a liar that works out of his home and uses an answering service. 20 years ago I would have driven to his house and got my money back one way or another. He's going to cross the wrong guy one day. I dunno if I would scam people and use my home address. Either way, do not give this piece of crap a dime. Honestly at this point I'm not even sure if he's alive. Crazy thing is no one can give me proof of life. I finally gave up calling. I would ask the answering service if he was alive. They couldn't answer. I put my lawyer on that task, they don't know either. I just wanna know if this clown is still on this earth

Scumbag Thief

Hired this POS and he stole my money and has refused to return any correspondence. Despite his lies, he has not done any work on the case. I am about to file a lawsuit against him although it doesn't appear that he has any possessions. I hope he has malpractice insurance but I doubt he does. I fi...led a police report and complaint with the Florida Bar. Astonishingly, I just learned that my complaint has moved up to the Grievance Committee with the Florida Bar. IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS SCUM, THEN FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FLORIDA BAR. Let's stop this scumbag from ripping off others.

Do not waste your time and effort!

I had called Mr. Harrington after seeing his Bio on the internet under Consumer protection Lawyers. I then received a phone call back from Mr. Harrington, asking for all my detailed case information as he would research my legal matter involving a case I had filed with the Collier County Court again...st a dealership in Orlando, Florida. Mr. Harrington explained he would call me back after his review and to this day, I have left multiple phone messages with his office, multiple emails and NOT one response from Mr. Harrington or his office! I asked his office why he was not taking my calls or answering my emails and they seemed very afraid to tell me and just said he has, "strict orders to only leave a voicemail and they cannot speak to him about it". This is so extremely rude and unprofessional and I feel betrayed as I trusted him enough to give him all my personal information and he lied to me! Please do not attempt to exchange any money with this individual, or for lack of a better word, "thief"....he has no business being an attorney!
