James L. Galen Jr.

I had him take on a case for my brother who is incarcerated for second degree murder. He procrastinated till the very end he aas very unpreparded. Told me all the problems hes ever had in his life as that was an excuse you recieved my money still. he calls at all hours of yhe night requestiong money ...that we already agreed upom a date. Beware .

• On July 25, 2016 I retained Mr. Galen to handle my divorce for a flat fee of $875.00. He agreed to do all court filings, serve my wife with divorce papers and represent me in court. • To expedite the process, on July 25, 2016, I took the paperwork he filled out to the courthouse, filed the paperw...ork and paid the $175 filing fee. • On July 25, 2016 my wife was served. • After July 25, 2016, Mr. Galen was missing in action. He would not return countless phone calls, or respond to text messages. On the rare occasion I was able to speak with him, he would set up appointments that he did not show up for. • I was relentless in trying to get him to move on my case. On October 24, 2016 my court filing expired and the clerk informed me that I would have to file again. • I did not hear from Mr. Galen until I left him a message that I would be contacting the attorney grievance center; he immediately responded to this call. He berated me with profanity and insults, and told me to get another attorney. I responded that I wanted to know the status of my case; he told me to call his office the following day. He did not respond to that call, nor has he responded to any other calls from me.
