Michael Joseph Gourley

Consulted w Mr. Gourley on a pending case.Gave him 2500.00 and waited a few weeks for arraignment which got pushed out 2 weeks.Called him the day of original arraignment which was on a Tuesday (April 10th), still nothing filed,no discovery,no nothing,he said just waiting to see what they hv or if the...ir gonna even file charges before I know what we're facing....looked up the case on line my self the next evening n saw case was "abandoned/closed",called him Thursday (the 12th) early morning,told him what it said n he responded " yes it's closed they didn't have anything to make a case or file charges on" I asked about the 2500.00 n he says " you don't owe me anymore n they could still open the case if evidence comes up...I'm not sure how he earned 2500.00 on a case he never had to do anything on but wait.He may be a very good attourney but fair with his fee's I would have to say not...I'm a single mom n struggled to come up w the $ I gave him to help my son n really couldn't believe he thought he earned 2500.00 on a case just for agreeing to take it.I am not sure if I hired him or just consulted w him,I met him once n gv him the money and he said we just wait n that was it other then the day I called him on the 10th.
