Zachary A. Harrington is a and must be reported

Hired Zachary Harrington after the dealership ripped me off. Harrington received an offer from the dealership, but I never heard back from him again despite numerous phone calls and emails. So many complaints—he should not be practicing law. He’s a fraud and must be reported. To file a complaint ...against an attorney in Florida, contact The Florida Bar's Attorney Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP) or the appropriate local bar association in your county such as the Hillsborough County Bar Association. You can find complaint forms on The Florida Bar's website or by contacting ACAP directly. The complaint should be in writing, ideally on the Bar's official form, and include detailed information about the issue, supporting documentation, and your contact information.

Total scam artist! Run away!

Unfortunately I have the same experience…he lied and has done nothing but lie and string this along with no results and will not respond to anything! I am looking for another attorney to handle my issue because it NEEDS to be resolved! I am also reporting him to the Florida Bar as well…he is a total ...scam artist! Stay FAR away from him and don’t let him charm you into thinking he will solve all your problems! He will quickly become your biggest one!

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

Complete waste of time and money

Hired this attorney to assist me with my case against a local dealership. While consulting with him, response time was fantastic, as soon as I paid his retainer ($2750.00) never heard from him until I fired him. I had to resolve the issue with the dealership myself and when I disputed his fraud retai...ner fee, he threatened to sue ME!! Can’t do anything to help with the dealer screwing me over then joined in and screwed me over more. Stay away from this guy unless you have money to throw away.
