Posted by anonymous | February 25, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Terrible professionalism and overall experience

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this attorney. As a defendant in a very serious and sensitive case, I expected professionalism, ethical conduct, and basic respect. Instead, I encountered behavior that I found completely inappropriate and alarming. During the course of representat...ion, this attorney made a comment to me stating they were “attracted” to the alleged victim in my case. I found this remark deeply unprofessional and disturbing, especially given the nature of the matter and their role as my legal representative. Comments like that demonstrate a shocking lack of judgment and raise serious concerns about objectivity and ethics. Additionally, after I became uncomfortable with the representation and requested a refund for unearned fees, the attorney refused to provide one. There was no meaningful effort to resolve the issue fairly or professionally. I strongly advise anyone considering this attorney to carefully evaluate whether this is the level of professionalism and integrity they expect in legal representation. My experience left me feeling unsupported, uncomfortable, and unheard during an already stressful time.
