Complete waste of my money and time

I hired Mr. Sanger for a unemployment case, he never knew who I was when I called, and every time I had to reiterate my case. I should have trusted my gut, but I was panicked about my case. He showed up at court with his wife, and instead of talking about my case and what he was going to say, he tol...d me about how he pursued her to get her to go out with him. When he was in front of the judge, he repeated the same thing over and over about my former employer , never really saying anything helpful to my case, and never rebutted the states attorney about the misinformation she was saying. I knew right then he hadn't really read my case as I suspected, I should have trusted my gut and gone with the other guy. Needless to say, I lost and owe the state $20,000. Plus to add insult to injury, the state never sent me a decision so I had to call him, explain again who I was and what my case was about, and have him email me a copy of the decision, after hearing him say he really thought he was going to win and had done everything in his power to help me. I disagreed with him, but I am sure it went right over his head. I wasted a lot of money on someone who didn't care.

This guy was charged with Fraud and treble damages by the Unemployment Agency. He had drawn benefits during a period of time that he was working full time. I got the case reduced to paying only restitution and got the treble damage provision dismissed. This guy is just upset because, we could not get the actual money he took, from the Agency dismissed. I got the Fraud matter dismissed, but when you say your unemployed while working full time, you should pay back the money you took, and that is what the judge required. This is the right decision, and the client, is just upset with the legal decision that was correct. When you are faced with 60000 in damages, and only have to pay back less than a 1/3 of that, that is a win, and you should be Thanking Attorney Sanger, for the great job he did for you. I did everything I could for this guy, despite his behavior towards the UIA. He won, because he he did not have to pay back a huge amount, he had to just pay the balance he took, while working. No room for him to complain here. He is mad that he got caught. Attorney Sanger did a great job for this guy. I zealously argued his case for him and am not responsible for the Judges decision. Hire Attorney Sanger and you will be glad you did.

Conflick of interest

I went to this attorney on 12/8/17 to talk about my case of reckless driving, I explained what had happened to me and he said he could get it dismissed with no problem I said my dad would give me the money up 1500.00 Mr Sanger quoted me 1100.00 retainer when I was on the phone with my dad. My dad sen...t me a check for 1100.00 I cashed the check and took the cash to Mr Sanger and paid him the retainer on 12/11/17 in cash. I demanded a receipt and what I got was a scribbled hand written receipt stating that he received 1100.00 from me in cash. Today being 03/06/18 he calls me and says I still owe him 100.00, I told him he was paid in full 12/11/17. I stated to him that he agreed to 1100.00 and stated that I only gave him 1000.00 that day. I have the hand written receipt that he signed that he received 1100.00 in cash from me. Then he stated when I went to court that he was friends with prosecuting attorney "red flag" . He stated that he got reduced to a civil infraction of caress driving. That is a long way from getting it dismissed. On 03/06/18 when he called me asking for the 100.00 I asked if he represented the other guy who made the complaint he would not answer me. So with all that has taken place I still have not received a statement of hour(s) spent on the case or any to that affect. With all this being said I left with being lied to, ripped off, and being taken advantage. So no I do not recommend this lawyer at all.

We agreed to 1200 by contract. Paul Youngblut signed a contract for 1200 and even stated in the contract he owed me another 100. He does not pay his bills, because he says he is a Disabled Veteran, and he does not pay all of his bills because, you owe it to him. I never told him his case would be dismissed, and told him I thought I could get the criminal charge removed. I did get the criminal charge dismissed and he pled to a civil infraction. I did not make the complaint about his road rage, the guy he ran off the road did, is the one that complained to the police. He is lucky he is not in jail for his conduct, speeding through a small town and passing a guy multiple times within a 1 mile stretch. I have never lied to anyone or misled anyone. Paul Youngblut is mad that I would not take his disability case, because he claims he is disabled, and works full time on mechanic and motorcycles. Another apparent way he earns a living working full time and claiming disability. Paul should be thanking me for keeping him out of jail ,on his criminal charge that I got reduced to a civil infraction. Good job Brendan Sanger, you did a great job for this client! Brendan Sanger is a very good lawyer.
