Replied last July 25, 2016This person was not a client or potential client nor a person that wanted a consultation on their legal matter. The person wanted me to divulge confidential former client information which I would not do. I patiently explained the ethics to her. The person got angry, swore at me, then hung like she said.. Considering the low rating that she gave me, I am honored to receive it, as it proves high ethics and that all client files are confidential.
