I had an arrangement with Tim that I was going to pay in $300 a month for a total balance of $5,000 owing I was making my payments on time as I promised he filed a writ with the court appellate court they kicked it back out because of the juvenile I was in and so he had to redact it and told him to h...e was supposed to go through the lower court first he did absolutely nothing they gave him a 2 week extension he did absolutely nothing My lawyer or the judge fired him locked him out of e-file didn't notify him of any court hearings that I had and warrant was issued for my arrest. He did absolutely nothing to address him being locked out of e-file he should have filed a complaint with the judicial commission he told me he was going to file a writ of prohibition which he never did and now he's telling me that if I wanted to file some I need to start my payments back up I said dude my case got closed first proved to me you can get it open back up and then I'll start my payments back up. he said he was going to represent the pro bono at some point and I said no I don't expect you to do that you you have to live too and I want to pay you for your service so I continued paying them even though he said he'd do a pro bono and then he goes to me and I hadn't heard nothing from him
