Disappointed.

Beyond disappointed with his services. I spent thousands with him. I was lost when I was referred to Mr. Risley and he made me feel comfortable about him representing me. He was misleading along the way with my case and he would yell in rant form when I asked questions. I set up multiple meetings for... us to do my discovery questions and he wasn’t even there. Then gave me a week notice of it having to be done and then dropped me as a client within two weeks of my trial and the same day as my schedule deposition. I wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy!

I am sorry you feel this way but have to respond based on your allegations. Anyone who could review public records would be able to see I represented you on two separate occasions, the first time for 3 months on your initial case which resolved and then you contacted and hired me again for your second case in which I represented you for over 18 months before filing a Motion to Withdraw. You recently failed to respond to multiple e-mails and phone calls in which I advised your participation was necessary so I filed a Motion to Withdraw. I cannot do my job if clients refuse to keep in contact with me, something that was attempted to be explained by me to you on several occasions. I also am unsure of how I would be misleading to you when sharing information from other parties in the case and advising you as best I can based on the information provided to me by you. I certainly understand the emotional toll cases like this can take on you and other clients.
