Posted by James | November 09, 2021 | Hired Attorney

Charged inflated rate and provided no service.

Melinda was hired with what was later understood to be an inflated rate for a routine legal issue. After meeting with Melinda and then providing payment in full, she promised updates via email two times before no longer responding to emails or phone calls. Payment was made in full but Melinda has n...o longer responded to requests. Another attorney was contacted and helped to resolve the initial issue rather quickly. Months after payment was provided no response or conclusion has ever been communicated from Melinda. The experience with this attorney has been unprofessional and completely unsatisfactory.

This review was posted by a former client named James who was fully within his right to be upset with my firm prior to receiving an explanation for what went wrong. James's file was assigned to my law partner, who committed suicide during the pendency of his representation. His file was later found in her personal belongings, after he had already retained alternative counsel to resolve his issue. He was immediately refunded in full and given a candid explanation for why his file was neglected. This review was posted prior to that refund and we have done our very best to make him whole in light of the unfortunate circumstance
