- We made deal for pay 5K up front to take care of the case 'for ever', it was not complicated. Due to delays and lack of will/effort on his part, this dragged out for a couple of years. His profit ratio was not there, so would not file paper work or help me and my family past the initial year. K...ept blowing off my emails, phone calls, said would take care of it but never would. Numerous contempt actions should have been filed, working with other lawyer or even following magistrate's direction to resolve the matter outside of court. - Tried to make me agree/sign deals that put me in financial ruin when we had no reason too. Again, his goal was for my case to go away. I lost 1000's in missed child support because he would not file contempt of court. Why not? I could not get an answer, I tried really hard. - He made crazy deal without my approval and actually stopped child support I received 2 months before he could find time to file agreement paperwork that offset the loss of child support. He tried to force me to agree to the said deal. I said NO multiple times. After consulting with multiple other lawyers, the proper deal was finally done. (thanks to those lawyers for their input) - Money issues have gone unresolved no matter how much I beg for his help, case is closed, I have no money for another lawyer. I have no choice to but get a new lawyer to help with the current unresolved issues, going to 'lose' that much more money. Most definitely avoid this lawyer, although seems like most will take advantage of you if you let them. This one will, even if you don't let him. It is about the path to least resistance for him, profit margin, will say what you want to hear to start then assume you lack will/understanding.
