Justin Schwartz

I filed a complaint at the court house by myself on 11/20/2019 as a Pro Se. It was accepted ,received a hearing date 01/06/2020. I went to court by myself and Judge moved the court date to 01/22/2020 due to filed for motion to dismiss complaint by defendant and his attorney. The same day 01/06/2020 I... called attorney at law Justin Schwartz ,explained everything and he agreed to take over my case. I signed the contract $2500 + 50% of any recovery as we agreed. I paid him $2500 the same day as we agreed I called him a day before hearing date , to make sure that is all good. He said yes, all good and I do not need to go ,he will go himself. My lawyer had to file his appearance and show up in court on 01/22/2020. Which never happened. He did not go to court or file an appearance that day. The next day I called him to see how it went. He told me he could not make it ,because he got sick. I was all upset about the situation, but he promised me to fix it. After many messages, excuses ( running errands , out of town, in court, on the phone support or simply not home ) finally Justin Schwartz submitted the documents to the court and he chose a date 02/19/2020. I called him a day before to see if its all good, he told me I'm out of town, I will nail it down tomorrow. Again, after plenty of messages , excuses he finally got the hearing date on 03/09/2020 at 1:30 pm. I told him that I will go too. He said that he is just appearing. The motion is up but should be granted as of right. On 03/09/2020 I went to hearing and I was waiting for my attorney to show up. And my attorney did not show up on time. By the time he arrived 45 minutes late , the court room was empty. I fired him immediately . And asked him for a full $2500 refund.He wanted to charge me for the job he did not do. After long battling he agreed to refund me in full. I could not believe, I got myself in this unfortunate situation. I lost my money, my complaint was dismissed, because of my attorneys irresponsibility .He sent me a half money $1250 the next day and other half of $1250 i was expecting in April as he promised. It is almost July and I'm still waiting for the other $1250 . When I text him , he always find an excuse. I want to share my story to the public ,so that other people, or his future clients will not be the victims of his irresponsibility . I do not recommend Justin Schwartz as attorney to anyone. Very unprofessional !
