I wish they could revoke there license!

I hired these men Thomas hunter and his partner Orin I wish I would of never walked into that office! They took my 6 grand down then went to court and acted like they where representing the state instead of me! I feel as if they sell your case out! I don’t recommend! They had nerve to ask for more mo...ney and u said “no!” I had a retainer of 4 grand left. They then quit my case because of mr hunter being sick (which I believe was false) they tried to keep my Money till I threatened to call legal bar association and they gave me back 3 grand! Point is these people are no help I don’t even think the Orin guy graduated from law school! Hunter was a good lawyer in his day fighting but he’s sick now so that leave the firm with mister orins education and I think your better off with a public defender! Superrrrrrr regret ever meeting these people!

Poor Advice, Poor outcome

This firm provided too much service for my case. In my opinion, they overstep the needs assessment of my case. They provided plenty of litigation opportunity, but provided almost no creative solutions to mediate, negotiate, or otherwise resolve matters throughtout the entire divorce process. They f...ailed to consult with or take on an additonal attorney who specialized in criminal defense, after my ex-spouse had me arrested twice. He provided poor advice about the criminal aspect or consequences of that part of my case, and now those portions will be on my records for a lifetime, with no expungement or sealing opportunity. His firm also knew in the early stages, about my ability to pay his fees, and overserviced my file, churning the litigation and over extending the discovery process, causing excessive billing. Lastly, the final results of my case demonstrate his lack of ability to successfully resolve my case; my ex moved out of state with our children, I was left with no assets and was left to file bankruptcy because of almost $200,000 in attorney fees, and as of this review, I am back in court, with a new attorney defending from my ex because of a poorly negotiated settlement document.
