Johnson Totally Mishandled my Case

I hired Mr. Johnson to respond to a motion filed by my ex-husband. Mr. Johnson accepted my retainer check but never responded to the motion. I tried to contact him on numerous occasions, but the hearing date came and went without response, and the court decided the motion against me because Mr. Joh...nson never filed an appearance or an answer. Mr. Johnson finally contacted me to indicate he was going through many personal issues and begged me not to file a complaint with the ethics board that I had suggested to him I was prepared to do. He eventually refunded my retainer fee for not filing the complaint, but I still need to find an attorney not self-absorbed with personal issues to try and undo this mess. I'd avoid Mr. Johnson until he gets his own house in order.

Should have been my own counsel

Ahhh... Where to begin. I guess my experience utilizing this attorney could be summarized as being nonexistant. I hired him for a custody case and wound up not seeing my son for 6 months, not being able to contact Dave or get him to return calls even leaving 7 consecutive messages one day. Simply, th...is dude sucks at his job. Period. Find someone else
