MISCONDUCT: Broke attorney-client privilege. Took money and didn't do anything for years

I hired Jed Stone to prepare an appeal to my wrongful conviction case. He took full payment upfront, promised me that he would get it done. Then I never heard back from him for months, I followed up every couple of months for 4 years. Every time, Jed gave me a runaround excuse that he was too busy in... court, that he would get to it as soon as possible. Then he asked his assistant to inquire with an organization regarding evidences from my case, the assistant disclosed my name and information to this organization without my knowledge or consent. They contacted the federal agents to investigate me as the result of this exchange. Not only did Jed Stone do nothing on my case, he caused me even more legal issues. He acted as if he is sympathetic to me and my wrongful convictions, in reality he could not care less about me or my constitutional rights. He was clearly aware that his action could cause me legal issues, and put my safety at risk. Someone like him should not be allowed to practice law. Misconduct aside, the way he practices business is truly unprofessional; there is no other professional services that can get away with taking clients' money and not fulfilling their end of the contract. I requested a refund after his misconduct and no-result, and I never got a response from him. I would not recommend anyone to consult or hire Stone, he lacks the basic human decency to be dealing with human's life.
