Brian Gordon Hiatt

completely failed me. dragged my case out for years and didn't accomplish anything I was asking. I was never a priority to him and he could care less about my case or my family. I fully believe that if I would've hired another attorney That my entire case would've Gone differently. It's actually very... sad the Disregard brian hiatt has for his clients livelihoods.

On February 10, 2022 I retained Brian Hiatt I paid him a $1,500 retainer fee. I explained to him that Tri Star had received payments on our from behalf from rental assistance and were still asking us to vacate. I explained that we believed that our trailer was finished being paid off in January of 20...22, and that there had been an over payment of rents of $3,315.00on our behalf. I gave him a copy of my original lease I asked him to help me obtain our deed. Brian Hiatt assured me that he would be able to help me to obtain the deed to our trailer Every time Tri Star communicated with me in any way I forwarded the communication to Brian Hiatt. I asked him several times when he would obtain our deed he told me I have left several messages for Neeley Regas council for Tri Star and I have not received a reply. I contacted Tri Star and the property manager at the time Robert told me I can’t talk to you because you have retained counsel. I was served with eviction papers and I immediately forwarded them over to Brian Hiatt. A bench trial date was set for November 4, 2022. I scheduled a face to face meeting with Brian Hiatt on October 31, 2022. Brian Hiatt started to look over my lease the same one I had submitted to him in February and he brought it to my attention that I was incorrect about the pay-off timeline. My husband and I did appear in court on November 4, 2022. Brian asked me how I wanted to proceed, I told him that I wanted to pay what I owe and asked him to ask if the fees could be waived. He talked to Neeley Regas council for Tri Star and told me that Tri Star would be willing to take my money but that they would still expect for me to move. He told me that the best he was able to negotiate was 30 days to vacate. He said if I did not agree that I would only be given 2 weeks to vacate. When Brian Hiatt appeared in court on my behalf on October 11, 2022 he did not advise me that I should be preparing to move. I wasn’t offered any mediation After several phone calls and emails Brian Hiatt told me On October 17, 2022 that my case was set for bench trial on November 4, 2022. Brian Hiatt told me stop worrying , if the outcome had been negative on October 11, 2022 I would have contacted you right away. Brian Hiatt told me on October 31, 2022 four days before my November 4, bench trial that I was incorrect about my payoff timeline. Brian Hiatt had possesion of my documents for 8 months. All of the decisions I have made concerning Tri Star since February 2, 2022 were based off of counsel I received from Brian Hiatt. On Monday November 7, 2022 I filed a motion with the court for more time to vacate and another to remove Brian Hiatt as my counsel.I was instructed to notify Neeley Regas council for Tri Star. When I delivered the papers to Neeley Regas council for Tri Star I discovered that Brian Hiatt and Neeley Regas have offices in the same building. Brian Hiatt knew that I had no intentions on moving. He knew that my job is here in this community My children go to school in this community Brian Hiatt knew I was trying to obtain the deed to the trailer so that we could live in the trailer. He knew that my huband and I had filed bankruptcy in 2019 and that we are trying to rebuild our credit. Brian Hiatt is the attorney who helped my husband an I file for bankruptcy. That was the reason why I chose him to represent us in trying to obtain our deed. If Brian Hiatt had reviewed my documents in February when I retained him, he should have pointed out my timeline error at that time. I would have only lost the $1,500 retainer and I would have made different decisions. This is not the outcome that Brian Hiatt and I discussed he assured me that he would be able to help me obtain the deed to our trailer. Because I trusted and listened to the council of Brian Hiatt we are being evicted during the coldest time of the year. During the holiday season. Because Brian Hiatt didn't advise me to be prepared to move, I am not prepared at all.
