A lot of empty promises

Hired for a custody case for my daughter -$2500. He didn't even show up for the trial. He sent an intern who apparently had no information about the case before going into the judge. She stood out in the lobby apologizing to me for what had happened with the outcome. She left his practice soon after.... He told me that he was going to meet with me to disclose some information concerning my daughters case, that didn't happen either. Quit returning my phone calls, but didn't hesitate to cash the $2500 check. Maybe it was a bad time in his life; don't know, but he left men without any credible representation. Would never recommend him to anyone. Glad at least some people had a good experience with him. Still waiting on that meeting Sam.....

Im sorry to hear about your experience with my law firm. I cannot determine the case by the narrative above or by "David.". I try my best to meet all my clients reasonable objectives in a case. However, some cases turn on the facts of the case. In years past, I had an associate attorney working with me but never a intern. The retainer fee you mentioned would place the case around 2010 or so. I would like to speak to you about your daughter's case but I need more information to identify the file. . I have never "no showed" a case unless it was a case specially assigned for the associate to handle. Please call me and lets have the meeting you are referring to above. I will pull the file and go over any unanswered questions. Im very sorry you feel like your daughters case was not given the attention it deserved. I will look forward to your call. Kindest regards.
