Complete scam endless calls not returned

75 yr old widower seeking court order for 31 yrs for new mobile home title hired Jacobson submitted all pertinent documentation $ 300 retainment as of 1/28/22 for getting docs filed for petition $175 told for court. Long story short endless front calls never returned check cashed 2/8/22 was told by s...ecretary Jacobson had other clients & that she does not know when he'll get back to me as of 4/9/22. Thought my documents were filed in court to petition court order so sos could produce mobile home title. Heather was sent an email to Jacobson law to be informed I will be picking up my very important documents on my identity & home of 31 yrs. Heather said she typed up a petition for court I mentioned I would like that copy put in with my wht binder of personal documents but was told by Heather that if I discover any documents missing give her a call. So, from 1/6/22 & $300 retainment cashed as of 2/8/22 picked up documents 3/13/22 when I discovered the court had no filling for my 75 yr old widowed mother DH so, I was lead to believe Jacobson was handling this matter of new mobile home title for sos to receive to produce since I was told by sos I had an abandon trailer go to court can not provide duplicate title when it was filed 31 yrs ago. Big problem never new have an existing mortgage, pay property tax on a 401 residential real property. So, I feel I was taken advantage of for 3 in half months could not call Jacobson & deal with Heather any longer when I discovered nothing submitted to the court no petition. But I would need to talk to Jacobson real funny the man does not return calls. As of 4/13/22 took it upon myself to visit office and retrieve my whole life's personal info. Was told by Heather I should go over documents and if anything is missing to call. Real funny no petition provided, 3 months latter I don't know if they returned every thing? Notified gladwin registar of deeds in gladwin flag my warranty deed to my property gave a web site to file for protection? What a nightmare of complete scam 300 bucks for 2 phone calls less than 5 to ten minutes you got me oh, don't worrie Heather said Jacobson knows what he is doing? My God I'm more stressed out now I would of never dropped off documents if I thought he was not going to submit to the court for a court order for new mobile home title. Now, I have to run credit checks on personal identity fraud. I just don't understand how Jacobson & Heather could be so cruel.

review

This man has not done any of the court orders and my grandmother is now deceased and he will not give us her annual accounting for the last 3 years. We have called and his office workers are very nasty and told us "life happens when i get to it you'll get the accounting documents" we as a family have... every right to her accounting documents as stated in the court orders.
