Dishonest lack ethics

I contacted this firm after my girlfriend had already shared some background information about my case. When the lawyer called me, I was very clear up front that I did not want to waste my time going over details unless he was actually going to take the case. Despite this, he kept me on the phone for... about 30 minutes, asking for details, only to end by saying I’d have to come into his office before he would “consider” taking it. I found this frustrating, as I had already made it clear that I didn’t want to share confidential details or spend time on a call if he wasn’t committed to representing me on a civil matter. I was direct and upfront, but he was not. I strongly advise against using this firm.

Unprofessional

Ted is a fraud. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Very incompetent lawyer. Overcharges his clients. Has previously been disciplined by the bar for his conduct. Do not hire him.
