Mike Took Our Money and Did NOTHING!

After our father's death in Aug. 2016, and our "brother" threw out our father's beloved pets, changed the locks to our father's house, including all the gates surrounding the house, my sister and I hired Mike for a fee of $2500, which HE said would be the "flat fee "from beginning to end to take care... of EVERYTHING." My sister and I had the initial consult with Mike in Sept. 2016, at which time he collected the $2500, promising to file a motion QUICKLY, in order to remove our "brother" as administrator. Six months later, Mike had done NOTHING, while our "brother" listed the house for sale, emptied the furniture, contents, and heirlooms, and sold our father's vehicle. ALL done without my and my sister's permission or involvement! MIKE ALLOWED IT ALL TO HAPPEN with NO action taken! I would text Mike periodically, just trying to get him to do his JOB! Mike would barely respond, and no action taken. Finally, in FEBRUARY 2017, when everything out of the house was gone, and the vehicle was sold, and the house up for sale, Mike finally filed a 6 month old motion to remove our "brother" as administrator, AFTER he had it all! Now the house has a buyer, though I have never been consulted. And the kicker of it all, is that Mike says that I was "abusive", a real joke, because I tried to get him to do his job! Had Mike just filed the initial motion in Sept. 2016, it all could have been resolved. He is a NIGHTMARE!

mike took my money and forgot about me

Mike was paid to do a social security disability case for me . He was paid 2500 up front and two and a half years later the only thing that has been done was by me sighning five medical release documents that he never even sent out . I personally called all five places and each one told me they never... received anything . went to the social security office and they verified by my name, social and birthday that I wasn't in the system .

  • 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.
