Not happy with this attorney

I had this lawyer for my child custody case and did nothing for me to help me get my child back. He was working for the other side and not for me.

Brags about how much he makes

This man was my lawyer and the whole time it seemed like he was fighting for the other side. He did nothing but put me down, bragged about how much he made, and continued to ask why can't you pay your bills. I worked 2 jobs minimum wage. I then confronted him about his behavior towards me and how it ...made me feel. He said fire me then, and I said no do your job or get reported to the ABA. Funny how quiet a person gets when you call them out for taking your money and not doing their job! I was fighting for my children and he wanted to brag. I got my children back but no thanks to him!

Horrible lawyer

First off I do not even give this man one star but had to as it was a mandatory field. This man is awful. Takes your money no problem and does nothing for it. Does not answer calls or return messages. I would not recommend this vile human to my worst enemy. He is at most dog feces on the bottom of my... shoe. An aggravating, unjust, unreliable SOB. If you hire this man you will regret it. You will be behind bars before you know it and broke to boot.

Beware

Was hired for divorce case. Among many inappropriate things he did, he sent my personal email correspondence with him, to the opposing party....admitted the mistake... I then received an apology though so its ok... He also got lost on his way to my home, blamed me and said he didn't have a smart phon...e. On the date he actually came to my home with successful navigation, his purpose was to interview my daughter, whom he never talked to, but bragged instead about his life in California, his Oriental wife, and his 35' yacht. This guy is unprofessional and a totally accurate representation of the stereotypes lawyers receive. He also texts me constantly regarding his bill payments, "if they are late I'm going to call police and file contempt on you". Adding insult to it all I had to pay for his time when he got lost coming to my home. I hope this helps someone find the help they are looking for.
