Research Research Research before getting scammed

He doesn’t answer or respond to clients love tried reaching out to him and he have not responded. And he left me all alone to defend for myself and still to today 10/112025 I tried reaching out to him for a copy of my paperwork and he still haven’t responded. And this is how he did me after receiving... my money and helping the state win over me. I would think that since everything that went wrong he would be a little caring and at least contact me back to let me know if he have what I’m looking for and to my surprise nothing from him.

Lawyer abandoned me

Hired Meiers giving him a healthy retainer. He did nothing and case dismissed for lack of proofs presented
