Hernan Cortes Rodriguez

I hired Mr. Cortez to represent me in a short sale of a commercial property. We were scheduled to appear in court on December 21st of that year. Prior to the hearing I tried to contact Mr. Cortez numerous time and he was never in his office and never returned my phone calls. I travel from New jerse...y to Orlando for the hearing. The day before the hearing I went to his office to find out that his office was closed for the rest of the year and found out through my realtor he was in Colombia on vacation. He left no one to represent me or speak to me or anything I felt like a fish out of the water. That same day I found out my property was schedule to be sold at auction. I paid Mr. Cortez $4000.00 dollars and I later found out through the bank attorney that she never held a conversation with Mr. Cortez regarding my case or any other for that matter. Thanks god I acted fast and was able to stop the sale. I think Mr. Cortez should be band from practicing law. I hope no one does to one of his family member what he did to me.
