Untrustworthy

Unprofessional, untrustworthy and just in general keep both hands on your wallet around this one.

Michael Hamby has always been there for my family and myself 100%. Very good Christian man, I trust him whole heartedly.

It only allows me to rate as poor

Mr Hamby was hired to represent me in a divorce. Mr Hamby would repeatedly schedule appointments, I would showup, and Mr Hamby would always have some reasoning to push subpeonas, and gathering of evidence "down the road". I confronted Mr. Hamby in a phone conversation about his lack of work, for what... he had been paid. Mr Hamby assured me that he would serve subpeonas, and request information pertaining to my case. During deposition, when my ex-wife's attorney read the interrogatories. ..... Mr. Hamby had changed my request for "joint custody" to "full custody", and made up his own reasoning as to why I deserved "full". Mr Hamby failed to submit evidence, witness list, and requested an additional $2000-$3000 the day of deposition to continue. Mr Hamby quit 5 weeks before trial, and wrote a letter to the judge, not simply requesting to be dismissed as my representation, but claiming I was rude, and disrespectful. When Mr Hamby returned my file in the mail, many things that had been given to him, by me as evidence.... we're no longer there. I lost my kids due to Mr Hamby 's actions.
