Daniel Gordon Parsons

I hired Parsons September 2014 to assist me in transferring my mother's guardianship from AR to IL and misc. estate planning matters. I met with him and he took my retainer. From that point on he did absolutely nothing without my constant prompting, inquiries, emails, phone calls, etc. I am a cert...ified paralegal and, in order to help speed things along, I even offered to prepare whatever documents were required, with his input and oversight! He finally did part of what I hired him to do (almost 3 months after I hired him). Now, almost 1 year later I asked him if he had completed the transfer of guardianship and he STILL had not completed the job. I fired him and will look for an attorney who actually does the work they were paid to do in a reasonable amount of time and who VALUES and APPRECIATIES his/her clients. Oh, and when I went to pick up what was left of my retainer? HE HAD MOVED HIS OFFICE AND NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO NOTIFY ME!!! All I could do was laugh...what more did I expect from this man? STAY AWAY FROM PARSONS!

I see that this attorney is still giving talks at senior centers and nursing homes. My mother hired him and paid the entire fee--over five thousand--upfront. Then she and her grown children spent the next 3 1/2 years trying to get Parsons to do the job he was hired to do. He took weeks to respond t...o phone calls or e-mails, and took frequent vacations when nothing happened at all on Mom's case. Once out of desperation I politely asked him for his cell phone #, and he angrily replied that he never gives it out.
