Incompetent

Puzzled by the way Mr. Holcomb was handling his case, the law clerk felt the need to openly double check during the hearing if Mr. Holcolmb was an attorney. “You’re an attorney?” He asked in shock. BEWARE. Once a bad attorney fumbles a file, it can be forever tainted and near impossible to repai...r without filing a lawsuit against the attorney for malpractice. If Mr. Holcomb were even the slightest bit capable of admitting his deficiencies and willing to correct them, he may avoid so many one-star reviews. Notice how the five-star reviews are anonymous? Interesting. Yet, after hearing the details of our case, 3 other attorneys recommended that I file a complaint with ARDC. Mr. Holcomb: 1. Did not fully ask to review the case until the *Sunday afternoon before trial. 2. Presented Half-baked and unprepared representation. 3 - Did not notify us of upcoming court dates. 4. Did not notify his client that the hearing is in person and not on zoom. 5. Easily duped by opposing counsel to into failing to file a motion. 6. incapable of admitting responsibility. 7. Unaware of contract 101 requirements which were not communicated with his client, likely because he either did not know or did not read the contract. Either way, both reasons will be the client’s fault – see #6. The result: he will take your money without reading your file and lose because whatever he did not read you should have known from the beginning, so it’s your fault for hiring him in the first place. If only this level of ineptitude were fraudulent enough to warrant discipline from ARDC, but they do not police carelessness or incompetence. So, do explicit research before hiring your next attorney and avoid this one at all costs.
