I was grossly disappointed!

I was so disappointed by my relationship with Mr. O'Brien. He is very disrespectful and not reliable when it comes to his word. He was very frustrated with my case, as I was, and because of some things that HE did not follow through on as a professional, it cost me quite a bit of money. After contact...ing other agencies I was informed that my attorney did not follow through with necessary paperwork, again, costing me. Instead of trying to make things right due to mistakes HE made, he blamed me and was very verbal in his frustration of my case instead of doing what is needed to conclude the madness. My ex-husband’s attorney got the best of him and he let it happened, at my cost, while bills continued to be emailed to me. He never even offered to make things right when there were areas I did the research but in court, things were not presented accurately, as a result, I lost and it cost me, but yet the demand for money is consistently coming. When I communicated my concerns and issues, I received very disrespectful communication with nothing but a threat regarding billing and pointing out my shortcomings and downfalls. I had a much better relationship with his associates and secretaries. THEY were responsive and kept me informed.
