Richard Alan McKinley

I was promised aggressive representation. I knew I was in for a fight and was referred by another attorney. He said oh yes we can do this and that and we can show that she’s not working to potential, we can get these other things done not a problem. I was trying to bring things to his attention and h...is own staff was telling him it was a big deal, important, something that could completely turn the case and cause me to end up way better off than even 50/50 where I was going. I don’t know if he made a deal with the other attorney or what but he basically rolled over like a dog playing dead and let the other attorney give him belly rubs. He pushed me into settling (mediation didn’t work so why settle day before the trial)

This attorney was hired with the promise of aggressive representation. That was two years ago. In spite of my pleading ( in person, e-mail, phone) with him to move my case to a quick resolution, he has done very little on my behalf except charge me (months late) for meetings which result in no docume...nts being produced or filed on my behalf. He has not copied me on documents pertaining to my case, in spite of many requests to do so. I get updated on my case by going to the courthouse to review my case file. He has not taken promised actions on my behalf. At least one member of his office staff is rude and does not follow through with requests or answers to questions, even though she says she will. I plan to file a complaint with the Florida Bar because I feel his lack of representation, in spite of me being billed for services, should be considered some sort of malpractice.
