Avoid this man at all costs

I wish I could give negative stars. He owns rental properties in my hometown. My husband and I rented from him for 3 years. The whole 3 years, anytime there was an issue we were ignored. Upon moving out, we were sued for damages done to the house prior to us moving in. Even with photographs and proof..., we were still charged over $4000 by this slum lord. When attempting to contact anyone at his business we got the run around & never got any actual answers. He is a slum lord and should be in jail

Unethical and dirty

I hired James Toth Prior to my case he had not advised me in one direction or another He was so late for my hearing that I was called up and sat down twice. The judge was not happy. I served 4 days in jail Toth then sued me for $600 and took me to court an hour from my home knowing I had no c...ar. I contacted the court letting them know I that couldn't make it as well as telling Mr. Toth. I truly tried to find a way but court was over an hour from where I lived They then issued a bench warrant. I was arrested. I paid what I owed and was released 7 hours later. He also blamed me because he got a speeding ticket on the way to my hearing for the probation violation. Which clearly was not my fault, I was not in control of his leg, nor was I in his vehicle. He was very liberal in regards to letting me know how much of a scum bag I was in his eyes. he sued me knowing I had no transportation to go to court, which is my fault I take full responsibility for not being able to make it. I have waited until all of my responsibilitys and debts to society we're paid before I left this review because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to let anger or my irresponsible manners dictate how I addressed this review. I have no open or pending cases or debts and I highly suggest that you do not hire James Toth or Great Lakes Legal Team. My case was - Possession of Marijuana under 3 grams He represented me for violation of probation brought on by being unable to urinate for a test one time more than half way through my probation sentence as a one time mishap.

Posted by anonymous | February 09, 2013 | Divorce & Separation

James Toth and Ryan Westbrook are the two worst lawyers in the industry.

I hired Ryan to represent me in my divorce, he never answered any phone calls, he charged me for services never received, his partner put a lien on my property for a bill I never even received in the mail.Then charged me to put the lien on, and to take it off, and to read it and send it to me in the ...mail. He doesnt know the first thing about working for you,my Ex made out better than I did. He told me I received a 10,000 divorce, for the work he did, but my W2's show differently. I would never recommend them to my worst enemy. Or the firm for that matter, they suck. Never pick a lawyer out of the phone book, that was my first mistake, the second was signing a lien form, that was suppose to be just for legal purpose's. They charged my title company for a fee that wasnt even billed yet, and made sure they spent every dime of it too. I paid way to much, for what I actually received from them, Very disappointed in the outcome.

dedicated

When the bank locked me out of my foreclosed home prior to my redemption period ending he threatened lawsuit as they'd violated mich statute. Bank settled quickly as he was persistent and determined to collect. Won $5,000...always kept me informed on case progress and is dedicated and determined to... serve clients.
