No stars, I wish there was a minus rating

On 10-20-2021, I paid the $250.00 consultation fee(up front b4 meeting). I still have the cleared check receipt. I and a family member, meet with him for about 1 hr & discussed the property deed work which I needed. He said he would have deed prepared & ready to sign within 7 days. After said ti...meframe, I called office, spoke to lady & the deed was not ready, lady said would be ready the next week. Another week went by & I called office again. Deed not ready. Left message for him with the lady answering the phone, requesting call back about when this deed would be prepared. No response. I made several more attempts to contact him but received no call back or document. I gave up & realized I was not going to get the promised legal document in this situation. Live and learn, I ended up using another lawyer recommended by a family member,
