Jerrold Lance Becker

Mr.Becker is a busy lawyer and I understand this. However I was made to feel all though my case (divorcing an abusive husband while we had our infant child) was unimportant and while worth my money was not worth his time. He would go months without returning my call or email. I was often interrupt...ed and on several occasions would laugh at my hopes/expectations and would hear “that’s not gonna happen” opposed to explaining why and offering what could be done instead. During mediation he was short with me, eating chips loudly, growing irritated when I didn’t answer him as quickly as he would have liked and after hanging up never told me mediation was over as I sat for two hours waiting for a call back, thinking mediation was continuing. Mr.Becker is completely unprofessional, so disappointed. I terminated my services with him, obtaining a great lawyer instead. I contacted him to return the money I provided which wasn’t used and was blown off. Blown off via phone and email. I called everyday after (weeks after I initially emailed him about the money) where he finally took my call and was yet again rude. He said he’d send the check out to me, hanging up on me. I received the check which was $400.00 short. I then went through this process again with him. I sent via email photos of the contract we signed, the money orders I sent him and how it was short. Finally he sent a second check out for the money he was clearly hoping to keep and for me to not notice. I understand he's a low priced lawyer but please do not waste your time and frustration with this lawyer.
