James Harold Sandlin Jr.

Jimmy Sandlin represented me on a case in which he estimated the cost of his representation and had me sign a vague contract with no stipulation for a per hour rate after the retainer fee was exhausted. At our initial consultation he even informed me that the retainer was "plenty" for the work that n...eeded to be done. After only drafting one settlement for me and receiving a counter, I was ready to sign, and felt I had gotten EVERYTHING I wanted. In our meeting, Sandlin wanted me to continue to negotiate. I had to strongly insist that I was ready to sign the agreement. He then asked me to pay 20% more than we had agreed to, citing the signed contract even though there was no stipulation for additional costs. He also never kept a transparent accounting of how my retainer was spent.
