Replied last January 17, 2020As much as I would wish otherwise, not every relationship between every attorney and client can be smooth sailing. It is unfortunate that our relationship soured and our firm needed to withdraw from representing you. Sometimes the attorney and client simply have very different views of what can occur by way of the representation. Unfortunately, unless I were to violate the attorney-client privilege—which I would not do—in this forum, I cannot respond in a detailed factual way to much of what you have posted. What I can say is that I made very clear to you the reasons our firm planned to withdraw, and they are not what you are suggesting that you “believe.” The 9/1/15 email I sent to you was (as printed) two pages, single spaced, reiterating the substance of our earlier telephone conversation, i.e. that the position you requested we take for your company raised significant ethical and sanctions concerns on our part, and, although another attorney might see matters differently, I did not feel comfortable with our firm continuing to represent your company under the direction given by you. My decision had nothing to do with Rule 222 disclosures. Our firm charged you a $2,000.00 up front non-refundable retainer as against the contingency fee, not the $4,450.00. And, by the time we had to withdraw, we had expended over $10,000.00 worth of time (calculated at what you would have paid had you hired us at our hourly rates) in representing your company, e.g. significantly more than your company paid to our firm.

Cindy helped me get my money back.
I contacted Cindy after a borrower defaulted on both interest and principle payments. Although I have been lending for many years, it was the first time where communication and understanding broke down so much with a borrower. Cindy helped check through the contract and correspondence. I proceeded...

WOW
I contacted Cindy's firm for a collections case. She was extremely helpful and kept me updated every step of the way. I am completely satisfied with how the case unfolded. She used all of her resources for an outcome that was timely and agreeable. She explored options I hadn't even thought of. S...

Cindy Johnson - a great attorney
I highly recommend Cindy Johnson. My husband and I retained her in the sale of our business. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and efficient. She kept us informed throughout the entire year long process, and we had a smooth, successful outcome.
