Camron Lee Hoorfar

Our experience with the Law Office of Camron Hoorfar, P.C. concerning a property-related lawsuit was deeply disappointing. We retained the firm to prepare and file a petition regarding 10212 Belmont Avenue, paid $7,000 in advances, and repeatedly authorized the firm to proceed with filing. Despite re...peated statements that the petition was complete, ready to file, or required only minor revisions, the lawsuit was never filed before the firm terminated the representation. We also experienced significant confusion concerning who the firm represented. The written fee agreement identified myself as “Client,” the firm communicated legal strategy directly with him, sent him the petition for substantive review, billed for reviewing his comments, and repeatedly sought his authorization before filing. Later, however, the firm characterized Terren as the sole client and Lonnie as a third-party payor, while also stating in writing that “you are both our clients.” Those positions were difficult to reconcile and were never adequately explained. We have serious concerns about the handling of the case materials and billing. The firm billed attorney time to download the evidence repository, but the drafting attorney later appeared not to have access to important folders and documents. The client file returned to us also appeared materially incomplete. We additionally identified discrepancies between the attorney time billed for petition drafting and the recorded editing metadata in several petition drafts, including drafts identifying automated document-generation tools as the creator. The firm terminated the representation shortly after we requested the complete file, trust accounting, billing support, call recordings, preservation of relevant evidence, and limitations on further billing pending review. We now dispute all fees paid and have requested a complete accounting and supporting documentation. We cannot recommend this firm based on our experience. Clients considering representation should ensure that the engagement agreement clearly identifies every client, obtain written confirmation of filing deadlines and case status, request regular complete copies of the client file, and closely review invoices and trust-account activity throughout the representation. We paid $7,000 to have a petition created and a lawsuit filed, only to receive an A.I. generated petition and withdrawal after we questioned the billing, which totaled over $8,790 billed with no lawsuit even filed or being even ready to file.
