Steven D. Pick is a nasty lawyer just like others said on this site!

I contacted attorney Steven D. Pick to do a spa notary and made an appointment for the afternoon to meet with him. The document that I needed notarized was from a different country and it said on the Consulate website that he was authorized to do it. The night before I contacted the foreign lawyer to... let him know I was getting an spa done for my elderly parents by Steven D. Pick and the foreign lawyer said that the notarized document needed to have a approved seal on it. I emailed Steven D. Pick at 7:30am and also left 2 voicemails and a text prior to our 4pm meeting asking he can do a seal. Lawyer Steve Pick got very angry and first told me that the seal he can't do, but then said he is with the consulate and can notarize it..thats me! Can he or can't he? This was a very confusing statement and I needed a further explanation. Steven D. Pick then became a enormous jerk and said I wasted his time and told me I don't know what I'm doing (note: I'm not a lawyer or notary), and Steven D. Pick was so unsympathetic, uncaring, and said if I want his help to do a notary he wants $1000 upfront. $1000 to do an spa notary? This is robbery and very unethical! He is an arrogant, nasty and mean slimeball lawyer that you should stay away from!!

Hiring Mr Steven D Pick was to worst decision I made

I made a bad decision when I decided to drive under the influence . But I made the worst decisionI when hiring Mr. Steven Pick. He states on his web site "My focus is on aggressively fighting for your rights and liberty, and making sure that you receive the highest level of representation possible."... He did no such thing when he represented me. He was always late to show up on my court date and when the Jude had called out my name, Mr Pick was not there to represent me on time. I had to wait . The Judge was not pleased at all. That is how I knew Mr Steven D. Pick did not have any interest in helping me at all, he didn't even try to put up a fight . He was , just there. Just occupying space. A waste of my hard earned dollars spent All he cared about was that I gets paid. He did nothing but put me down and made my court fees increase by asking for a continuum each time . As bad as I felt for the DUI I received, he continued to use a rude word when speaking to me. To me, thats was very unprofessional. I was referred by a friend who also happens to be an attorney as well, and the day I was convicted and sentence to jail, Mr Steven D pick told him the outcome . I thought there was law for client confidentiality involved here . If there is a law such as that, then Mr Steven D. Pick should not be an attorney at all.
