Hired Greg in 2016

I want to start by saying I hired Greg in 2016 and he charged me for EVERYTHING! Even if he called me to ask me something that I told him in the past he just "forgot." He also was very hard to get a hold of, and blamed a lot of the problems on "DHS" when in fact I called DHS and they told me they had... no record of him representing my case. Once we had court and Greg was nowhere to be found. When I called him and finally got ahold of him he told me he was broke down. He asked if my ex husband and I could meet him at walmart instead of the court room to sign papers. We said fine, because we wanted divorced and we already were agreeing on everything. We get to walmart and Greg tells us we have to wait for his wife and their newborn baby to get back from the bathroom because OUR PERSONAL documents were with her in WALMARTS BATHROOM. He was so unprofessional and I was embarrassed that he was my attorney. The entire experience was so dreadful. You'll ask him something and he'll have to get back to you after checking his books to make sure its ok. Any time I would question what he has done on my case or what was taking so long considering my ex and I agreed on everything he would tell me he'll withdraw at any time and was very demanding that he was doing the right thing and to stop questioning him. I'm no attorney so I don't know what the right thing is that is why I hired Greg, but I also know that my ex and I had no property together, we agreed on everything, I taken the necessary classes and it was still drug out for whatever reason. I can't speak on anyone but myself but I was actually referred to Greg and the person that referred me eventually fired him because she was going to him for over a year with absolutely no improvement on her case. She got a new attorney and within 3 months everything was completely done with. Once I got charged because I sent a follow up email to him because it was 2 months since I heard anything from him (I tried not to contact him often since he charged for EVERYTHING) when he responded to my email he admitted to dropping the ball and then he proceeded to tell me the good news, I later got a bill for my email to him even though he did not communicate to me what should have been communicated two months prior to my email being sent. I strongly believe he was trying to drag it out for money. Please do research before choosing an attorney. Also consider years of experience.
