Nicholas J. Bachand

Mr. Nicholas J Bachand accomplished nothing besides draining our bank account in order to bring more money to the Lucido Law Firm. When I first met with him during the initial free consult he was very interested in explaining his fees than gathering details of my case. Right on the spot after about... five minutes in the conversation he asked me If I wanted to pursue my case and charged me a $1500 retainer. After $1500, it was a $1000 then $500 and continuing on. He did not accomplish any positive changes in court but instead was very smart on canceling meetings and/or postponing hearings in order to charge more fees. After 2-3 trips to the court I realized that I chose the worst lawyer in that firm, and that he was so incompetent with no knowledge of the law. He also was giving confidential information to the opposite lawyer and when in court I was paying him to chat with the other lawyer or to be the referees assistant. We would agree on certain conditions and compromises in the case but when in court he would state another decision, leaving me clueless on what to say in front of judge/referee. He was rude, not available and a waste of money. I guess he only has the word "lawyer" on his diploma that he has in his pseudo office. His skills as a lawyer were horrible, he seemed like a messenger boy, an extremely expensive crappy one. I was keeping my promise and always paid him when I received his invoices (actually overpaid the amount owed-He would charge me to the stamp placed on the envelope REALLY??).I would receive communication and invoices of other clients (with all of their personal and case information: where is the PRIVACY LAW here); in his defense he would tell me that his secretary was guilty for those incidents. I then decided to take matters in my own hands due to his terrible attitude and laziness. I told him he was fired, and after my paid in full balance I ended up receiving more charges for hours never worked, but in his own sneaky and fraud ways he accomplished to find some forgotten charges. Unless you like squandering money and not getting any tangible results that you could have gotten for the price of Fake Lawyer, the ones you find on TV, I would NOT RECOMMEND him, EVER., not even to my worst enemy. He is horrible as a person and as a lawyer.

The lawyer we dealt with at this firm, Nicholas J Bachand, was a complete waste of a nearly a thousand dollars. He accomplished nothing but the draining our bank account. We were referred to him by the Macomb County Bar association, big mistake. Seems that they only give the name of somebody near... you, not a recommendation. We could have easily made a better choice by picking somebody at random out of the phone book. When I first met with him during the initial free consult I thought he seemed like a real jerk. My wife said that is what we need. The problem is we thought he would be an jerk to person we were in a legal dispute with, not to us. Wrong again Bob. First thing he did was print up a Power of Attorney form letter, and charged us a $500 retainer for doing that. He claimed he had trouble getting in touch with the party we had a dispute with, again another load of baloney. I say this because once I decided to take matters into my own hands I had ZERO trouble getting in touch with them. He charged us for what he said was an attempt to negotiate a lower settlement. His negotiation amounted to "my client is willing pay this". That isn't a negotiation, that's being a messenger boy, an extremely expensive crappy one. He called after we cut contact with him because we decided to take matters in our own hands due to his terrible attitude and laziness. I told him he was fired, and lo and behold he charged us to fire him. Unless you like squandering money and not getting any tangible results that you could have gotten for the price of a Legal Zoom Legal Form Letter, I would hardily not recommend him, EVER. This is my opinion, I suggest you heed it.
