Paul Stockyj

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME. I have already filed complaints with the American Bar Association, the Attorney General & stopped payment on the last check for his "services," but the googling public NEEDS to know: I just met Paul this year. He was supposed to handle a license restoral & a $56 ...bench warrant out of 40th District Court. Paul will PROMISE ANYTHING to get your money. The old bait & switch technique. Got me for $700 of $1000 on the FIRST VISIT. He will tell you that he "handles cases like this all the time" or "just handled a similar, *far more serious case* just last week," it's ALL LIES. HE DOES NOT. He HAS NOT, CANNOT, in 6+ months, restore a drivers license, handle closing old cases or represent you for a misdemeanor, let alone handle a felony case, despite his claims. You will have to contact MSP, pull your record for $50 & then Sec of State & restore it yourself FOR $125 while he makes excuses, claiming you just need to provide a "certified copy" of your driving record so he can request a "certifcate of judgement" & continues billing you for his "services." Neither of these are necessary. One look into his office, circa 1960, should have been my indication that this is not a well-maintained or profitable law firm. He even went so far as to scold my 3 year old (special needs) son for running a plastic matchbox car across the top of his delipidated faux wood desk. When he does show up for court, on time, if at all, he is an unprepared, sweaty, bumbling, baffoon, not well versed on your case. He deliberately asks the court for more time, so that he can bill you for an additional visit. Paul's neglect, deliberate lack of communication and preparation cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS & almost jail time!! Don't expect case updates because you will not get that. He will not return your calls or emails. God forbid, you're a WOMAN & any time, you call him out on his obvious unprofessionalism or assert yourself, you will find Paul has quite a temper. NOBODY wants to deal w 300lb, sweaty, Grandpa screaming at at the top of their lungs, over the phone, outside of the court building because he's a no-show, again. It is 2023 Your attorney should be your biggest advocate. Your clients SHOULD NOT BE EDUCATING YOU ON NEW PAROLE & PROBATION LAWS PASSED IN 2021, aka Michigan SB 1050. WE USE COMPUTERS & THE INTERNET NOW. Get with the program. Stop assuming your clients are as uneducated as you are useless.
