DO NOT HIRE!!!!!

I hired Roland back in January 2026, gave him a $1500 retainer. Sent tons of evidence for my case. He initially told me it would be an in person 1.5 hour hearing March 31, 2026. I never heard from Roland until 2 weeks before the hearing asking me if I could push the hearing back due to a scheduling c...onflict. I did not agree to push back. I had left messages through the portal and never got a response. Then his wife which is his paralegal tells me we need to schedule a zoom meeting 10 days before the trial on a Saturday at 2pm. She said I would get the zoom link the morning of. 2pm comes no zoom link was ever sent. I called and she answers still sleep at 2pm in the afternoon. Roland knew nothing about the meeting. And rescheduled. We finally had our zoom meeting 6 days before the hearing. He told me he would go over the evidence and have me look over what he thought would benefit the case before he submits it to the court and that since the hearing was so close I was his priority and don't hesitate to contact him. He also told me to send my witnesses information. I submitted my witnesses list via email, text and through the portal asking him to confirm that he received it and also told him I never received the evidence he was going to submit to the court. He not once replied. Fast forward the hearing. The judge had no record of my witness and no evidence was ever submitted to the court. I got scammed out of $1500 for paperwork because he knew nothing about my case and definitely did not defend me at the hearing. He told me it was set for 1.5 hours. The hearing was over in 22 minutes. Then he texts me to say I will receive a final bill. I went over my retainer. I literally only spoke with this man 3 times about my case. No longer than 15 mins total. I filed a complaint with the state. There has to be a way to stop this criminal. I will do EVERYTHING in my power to see that he is held accountable for screwing over ppl continously.

Horrible communication & refuses to take responsibility

Absolutely 100% joke of a lawyer and shady person. It's been 10 months since I fired Roland and I still can not get my retainer refunded. The amount Roland claims I owe him is over $1200. For this money he missed 4/4 scheduled phone calls with me to go over the case and during the one hearing he at...tended virtually, he asked no questions. I was charged for the time it took his staff to answer the phone when I called after he missed the meeting; how is this acceptable? The communication from this company is pitiful. I can not stress enough how completely disgraceful a company this is. They should be embarrassed for how the hold themselves. Stay clear. 10/10 do not recommend

Do not Hire

A terrible Lawyer paid him for representation and I still had to drive three hours to be in court. I knew I was going to lose when I first saw him, the way he was dressed like he just got back from a walk. He did not even put up a fight for me. I ended up paying all traffic fractions, not even one wa...s removed from the three. Do not waste your money trust me, get a better lawyer.
