This is an opportunity to respond herein. I will not take the low road and validate all of the things said, as they are mostly untrue. I would have appreciated the opportunity to meet in person and discuss these matters, but the client refused. As for being all about the money. The matter was undertaken in April 2025. The client did not pay the full retainer. The client never paid the full retainer. The client made many promises of payment, that were never followed through upon. Further, the client offered to send money this week, to which I asked her not to do, inasmuch as I felt she needed different counsel to advance her matter. If the office was all about the money, I would have taken the money she offered, as it was earned with over a year of court appearances. After hour calls were a "norm" for this client. Everything was an "emergency" but always after hours. Despite that, I responded after hours regularly. Client was always made aware of the status of the case through email. Client was advised of the facts and circumstances that woudl likely be put before the Judge in rendering a decision. Client did not like this. Client was all about the fight, but not about paying the bill for the fight. Entitlement is the word that comes to mind. Client was never threatened, but rather told in very clear and concise terms what her chances are. Honesty was not of interest to her. This matter was outside of the usual office practice area, and was explained to the client BEFORE representation was undertaken. Had succesfully represented the client on other occasions in the past. Took the case to try to help. The nature of practice changed due to outside circumstances and told client that she should use her money to hire someone who could give this matter the time and deference she desired.
