Andrew Nicholas Wilson

I hired Mr. Wilson in a family court case that came up unexpected after reading a few positive online reviews. That's why I am writing this so no one will have the same problems. In consultation he spoke of how he believed it would go and quoted a price that would retain plenty of hours allow him to ...have time to accomplish it as lawyers do. I gladly paid in full thankful for all the work he spoke of to provide the best he could. Preliminary day came and he was gathering the right information in notes to accomplish his agenda. After speaking with me the court granted a no contact order on my behalf until we returned to court. The weeks between that day and court it was violated multiple times with malicious intent. The courts instructed that I contact my lawyer about the violation. I left multiple voicemails, text& emails to no avail for 3 weeks. Three days before court he responds through message to confirm court. Mr. Wilson had left directly after preliminary for 3 weeks vacation completely unreachable until court. I had paid quite a handsome retainer gladly because I needed his time and services. I was left with no counsel when the order was violated repeatedly. When I asked him for an itinerary as to what he had prepared Mr. Wilson had not pursued anything in preparation in the least. Everyone deserves uninterrupted vacation. I just feel strongly he should have been forthcoming about his schedule, not accepted a pricey retainer for his time that would be spent completely vacationing. If he had I could have obtained other counsel that could have prepared work on my case with the many hours I retained from him instead of vacationing on them only to show for thirty minute court session with only "playing it by ear" as his agenda in a life altering case for me. This is a caution for anyone who has a case that needs counsel you can trust to do the footwork only lawyers can do in the legal system to accomplish your needs. Especially if the lack of diligence could yield results that not only fail the client but their loved ones also.
