I'd give no stars if I could

Eric Roby drug out my worker's comp case and when I got a final judgment he told me I would receive partial settlement and the remaining 3500 in 3 weeks, never saw that remaining money and the law office he worked for just said he was fired and would not assist me.

Worst Attorney

I hired Eric Roby to handle a civil case in early 2018. He failed to return many calls, cancelled many meetings, and made so many mistakes on my case. After 2 years, I found out that he had lied to me the entire time and he never filed the paperwork, actually talked to the opposing side on my behalf,... he did not actually deal with the clerk of the court or judge, etc. He sent me to court house 3 times and then did not show up. I found out later that he had lied on everything. He has been fired from the law firm of Ewan & Hall and the Missouri Bar suspended his Kansas License on February 3, 2020. He is no longer a practicing attorney. His malpractice has forever damaged my case, my business, and my family and me. I hope this never happens to anyone else, because it is a very painful experience.

Work comp

Eric Roby dragged out a work comp case from August 2013 to January 2019. This entire time has been a difficult road to say the least. He has made it very difficult to get any information from. Never returning phone calls, canceling meetings, etc. When we did recieve any kind of information he played ...it up like some kind of progress was being made, promise a phone call in a few weeks, and then the communication would stop for months. Today January 14th, 2020 we were informed from the law office he was working through that he was no longer employed and our case has been dropped. This is a joke of a lawyer and as far as I am concerned so is Mr. Halls law firm.
