Property line dispute-- I my opinion 1 star is even to high of a rating

Mr Jones is a nice guy to chat with but his legal skills are lacking. I hired him because my neighbors built a fence on my property but they moved it before we even went to court so it was canceled. Then they sued me for filing a malicious claim and I was forced to pay them over 8000 because Mr Jon...es never bothered to tell the Judge that they had moved the fence. He told me we lost the case because the judge didn't like him. So a appeal was filed and I lost it as well because they said I could enter new evidence which was that they had built a fence on my property. Due to his lack of skills I was forced to file bankruptcy to keep my property because he also failed to file a stay in a timely manner while waiting for the appeals court to make a decision.

Replied last October 05, 2015

This case was settled to the client's satisfaction. All issues were settled as a part of the parties' agreement with one exception, the issue of attorney's fees and costs. The court made an award for the other side and, after discussing her legal options with me, my client decided to appeal. Unfortunately, the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's ruling. The frivolous and unwarranted review above is sadly the classic case of someone "shooting the messenger". My staff and I worked zealously to defended Tonie's rights in her real property and succeeded. The filing of bankruptcy was a decision made solely by the client, based on her prior financial decisions and existing credit issues. I have handled numerous real property cases over my 13+ years as an attorney and had great success. However, all cases are not created equal and some do result in a less-than-desired outcome. There is inherent risk associated with the legal process and this fact should be considered prior to the filing of any lawsuit.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
