Eric Marks
Replied last August 05, 2014It is disappointing to hear that someone was not satisfied with the services provided. Without knowing who this is, or what the circumstances of their case were, I cannot respond to the accusations. I can only submit that I have never had a client dispute a bill in 9 years of practice. To the contrary, I have capped fees for clients of modest means when situations out of our control prolonged litigation. I make a concerted effort to minimize billable time for clients at all stages of a case. I make it a point to return calls as soon as practicable, and often need to work late after court is in recess to respond to client inquiries. At times, a client's work schedule and my time in court makes it difficult to connect. Accommodations are always made, including evening and weekend appointments when necessary.
