Overbilling

I hired Mr. Gorman to handle some real estate matters for me and its been a nightmare since day one. He was very hard to get a hold of, was disinterested in follow up and his staff was rude, which I think consists of a part time secretary and his wife. None of whom communicate with each other or on ...the same page. They rang up a bill on me which I refused to pay based on our understanding of what I wanted done/handled. After numerous times of trying to come to an agreeable settlement they have filed a lawsuit against me for the unpaid balance. Watch out for his billing in which he rounds everything up to .10 hours. a 15 second phone call will cost you $58.00. I have used a lot of local attorneys over the years but his one takes the cake. avoid at all costs!

"Bob Gorman is a great litigator. I am well familiar with Bob's work, as he helped me handle a real estate contractual dispute a few years ago. He is tough and not afraid of a good fight. He is a pro and has a special way with language that gets results for his clients. I completely endorse Bob Gorman's work."
