Excessive retainer fee.

Hired him for a custodian case for my nephew that is being railroaded by a non family member. He has mental issues. He charged 2500 retainer fee, promised that he would get good results. He doesn’t answer phone calls, emails. Didn’t supena anyone, drs, mental health clinic, DHS or any other family... members that knows the situation. He just took my money and ran. I spent another 2000 to be in court for him to just rely on my testimony. Still haven’t heard the final results of the case. He just doesn’t care what happens to my nephew, it’s all about money or maybe it’s about melanin in my skin. So disappointed in his service. Please google him before you call him.

Excellent Lawyer

Genuine, ethical, responsive and effective. Calm and controlled personality, but tough when necessary. I would hire Patrick again, and recommend him highly.

lack of client communication

Patrick was refereed to me by the Alabama Bar Association, i contacted Patrick on Mon Sept 19 2016 regarding a malpractice lawsuit against Aspen Dental, I gave him all the details and was told because it was in Bessemer, AL he thought we would have a good case, After I sent him all my information, ...ever time i called his office i would ended up getting either his voice mail, his work from home assistance with a baby crying in the back ground or line would get disconnected. He never returned any message i left with his assistance or voice message, I even emailed him and still no replay. On Nov 21 2016, i finally got a letter from him telling me he was not going to take my case. After months of trying to find another lawyer, i got a voice message from him asking for my records so he could add them to a class action case. Once again i sent him my information and once again no communication with his client whats so ever, Every time i called i would still got his voice message, his work at home assistance or disconnected. BEWARE, if you are serious about getting a resolution's with an issues and need to file a lawsuit find a more considerate, serious, respectful attorney who will really make an effort to help you and not make your issue or problem worse

Just Dropped My Case

I hired Mr. Hays after he contacted me and requested to represent me. I met with him a couple of times to discuss my case but then weeks went by and I never heard from him. I finally got into it with him a couple of days before my court date and he assured me he would be there to represent me, the da...y of court he never shows up and had never registered with the judge as my lawyer so my court date got pushed by his request. A month went by and I was only able to get in touch with him once or twice and he still guaranteed me he would be there to represent me. By this time it is too late to get another lawyer. I received a letter in the mail the day before my court date saying he was dropping me as a client. Needless to say I lost my case due to lack of representation.

Hey Andrew thanks for commenting on my service.. Your case was a collection case for your car which had been repossessed. I took your case pro bono, which as you remember I did not charge you anything. I was trying to help you out, unfortunately we had no defense to your case. At the case progressed we could not agree on the best way to defend your case and I could not effectively represent you. Therefore I had no choice but to withdraw my representation. I filed a motion to withdraw from your case and asked the judge for time so you could obtain another lawyer, which was granted. I am sorry your case did not turn out the way you wanted. Sometimes the facts are such in case, there is little that can be done. If you would like to discuss your case further, I would be glad to talk with you. Thanks, Pat
