Double check your money

After reading other reviews, I realized I had a very similar experience. This attorney was repeatedly unprepared in court. On one occasion, he even appeared to fall asleep during a court session. He frequently asked me to come in for meetings without clear reasons, and each time it felt like he didn’...t remember my case. He kept asking about my financial and family situation, even though I had already provided all documents at the begging. He often talked about how famous he is and mentioned old, high-profile cases. When I looked them up, the articles focused on the cases themselves, not in whether he actually won. Despite this, my case made little progress and dragged on for over 3 years. Whenever problems came up, the blame was always placed on the judge or opposing counsels.

Be careful

Just a heads up for anyone considering this attorney. One day he offered me a discount if I posted a positive review. I declined. In this year, he showed up to court unprepared and kept asking me for the same documents over and over, with zero real progress, he also kept dropping hints about connecti...ons to judges, which didn’t inspire confidence.

Hire him at your own risk.

He talked about high profile cases, he spoke a big game once he collected my money he did literally nothing for me. This man is a scam.

BEWARE of this lawyer! Anyone else had the same experience?

Don’t get scammed! He starts off by promising you a super low fee, but once he gets your money, everything changes. He literally fell asleep in court. My case barely moved forward. Whenever I asked about progress, he just blamed me or the judge. I honestly feel scammed. If anyone else has had a simil...ar experience with him, please share your story here. The more people speak up,the harder it’ll be for him to keep getting away with this.
