PLEASE READ AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AS I SHOULD HAVE

I am going with 0 stars, if I could, for MULTIPLE reasons. 1 he took my money for. Job he was hired to do Ang he did not even file my case. Months later, I discovered ONLINE that his license was revoked for “discipline” whatever that means as a lawyer. And then requested my money back from him. Upon... SEVERAL trips AND phone calls of which most were completely ignored and unsuccessful I received $500 of $900 back almost a year later. I have since contacted the Tennessee Lawyers Fund For Client Protection, of whom stated to me he wasn’t authorized to be currently practicing law. I am in the process of giving him 1 more, yet again, chance to get my money back to me before I send the paperwork off for STATE reimbursement on his behalf. I have also since filed a formal complaint with the BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE.
