John Benjamin Crabtree

I went to Ben Crabtree for help with an adoption case. He seemed fine until after I paid his retainer. my case was not a big money case as most of the work had already been done. After he received the retainer, he was very short when I tried to ask questions. He even criticized me for asking too many... questions telling me that my case was not priority to him. I stopped trying to keep up with what was going on. He then reached a tentative agreement with the opposing lawyer. he called me asking me to agree to their terms without me even seeing anything in writing. . When I did not agree to the terms, he literally said this has been going on for some time now and I don't understand what the problem is. If he had been paying attention, he would have understood. I explained to him what had to be in the agreement for me. He called back and told me the other side agreed and I accepted. After, He did not send me a statement or anything regarding money. I knew I should get much of my retainer back because we did not go to court. I have called twice asking for a statement and a refund of unused retainer. The last time I called he said he would get it to me that week and that has been over 3 weeks ago. I felt uncomfortable with him from the start.

I used Ben for 2 different cases I had and I was 100% satisfied with his representation. He was always available to answer any questions I had and he filed everything within a timely manner and handled everything professionally, If I ever need representation again I will most definitely be using this... law firm & John Benjamin Crabtree!
