Retail theft

This attorney agreed to take on my case in 2012 and get paid once I settled a malpractice case, but he will not say how much he would charge me for felony retail theft case after five or six months I was not happy with the way he represented me in this case I let him go and now he's charging me$15,0...00 case.Yes he should get paid for the time and work he put into my case but I don't think it should be that much. I will be filing a complaint against him with Illinois bar association.

This review is pure fiction. I have never & would never represent a client contingent upon the outcome of an unrelated case. I would not represent a client in a criminal matter without an appropriate retainer being paid & in a felony matter a written representation agreement would be required, which would reflect the fee charged.
