Unprofessional Behavior

I hired Mr. Walters for my divorce. After two years I still wasn't divorced, but paid him $6,000 up front. He told me he was withdrawing from my case three times. He told me on the third threat of withdrawing two days before my divorce was supposed to take place. He really didn't have a good reason ...to withdraw. I highly recommend NOT to hire this lawyer for anything. I've read other complaints that he seems to have a habit of taking ones money, treats his clients like they are bothering him, and never completing the job he was hired for. He is one big mistake of a lawyer.
