Jeffrey T. McCarty

This is going to be a long one but to save you all the trouble … Honestly you would be better defending yourself. He barley ever spoke up for me, Jeffrey basically blew me off telling me it’s not big deal for every reasonable issue that I had. Fast forward to the last time we had a hearing, w...hile trying to come to an agreement with my the defendants attorney (via phone calls back and forth because he was too lazy to meet me in person) he would hang up on me, make comments like “oh my god” “Jesus Christ” “are you serious just adjust your schedule” “stop being complicated” and the best one “stop talking”. After asking him a question regarding over night parenting time he gave me some bs answer, the man was too lazy to even look in my file so I had to go pick up my file and find the answer myself (which he also charged me for). To top it all off after paying him $7500 the first time, that covered 3 hearings. When my retainer was up we paid him another $7500, went to court ONE TIME and again he was disrespectful and unprofessional and I was fed up. I asked him for an itemized receipt. I had to email Jeffrey probably 10 times and call his office at least 3 times in 1 month before getting a response. About a month or so later they told me my itemized receipt was ready and when I saw it I was shocked to see that my second retainer only covered one hearing and he drained my retainer charging everything he possibly could. For example the 10 emails I sent and never got a response to were charged $75 each. 4 texts that he never responded to were $150, and each text and email afterwards wether he responded or not. After checking my phone records I realized he also charged me for a multiple calls that he claims he made to me (I checked my phone bill to confirm he never called me.). Not to mention he charged me $350 for my “free consultation”. What a joke of a lawyer. How does one retainer cover 3 hearings and the second retainer only cover one? Also how can you switch up how you are charging me without making me aware at all? Not sure what the man’s problem is but he definitely will NOT fight for you. The most unethical and unprofessional human being I have ever met in my life.
