Aaron Christopher Bitter

My story is much too lengthy for this site, but long story short, I lost custody of my son to his father (whom CPS had previously found to be abusive), AND was ordered to pay $4500 of my ex's attorneys fees due to Aaron Bitter's neglect. Had to file with the state bar and a yr and a half later I stil...l pay my ex $100 a month, barely see my son, and will have to go through the entire nightmare that is a custody battle all over again someday. This 2 1/2 yr case (much too long for a case like mine) became so stressful that I ended up in the hospital a couple of times for what I thought was seizures and now realize were insanely intense panic attacks. He didn't show to several scheduled appointments, nor did he show to my hearings, and in the end I had to represent myself (I am a fairly intelligent person and trust me, intelligence and know-how won't get you anywhere if you end up with a judge like mine that holds it against people that come in and try to represent themselves). As you can see I am still dealing with the post traumatic stress years later, all because of an attorney that claimed to care and couldn't even DO HIS JOB, let alone have compassion for anyone he was representing. Fortunately several months ago a judge heard mine and several other of Aaron's previous clients' cases and awarded us our money back and ordered that Aaron be permanently disbarred. He is officially no longer an attorney (thank God) but a lady at the State Bar informed me that he is appealing the court's decision.

I hired Aaron back in 2008 to represent me with my tickets. He showed up to one of court hearings but never showed up the other ones. I left several messages and emails. Filed Grievance with the state of Texas and they advised me since Mr. Biter never returned there phone calls or answered there lett...ers for me to take him to small claims court. He is not trust worthy at all. Will never come back to this attorney again.

I hired Bitter for my daughter in Denton Co Jail on Mon. His office seemed very accomadating and even came to Rockwall to pick up his money on Wed 12-1-10. Bitter never met with my daughter, took 2 weeks to file notice with court that he was her attorney, never returned our calls. Then to top it off... she had court on Mon 12-13-10 and Biter DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP, the court called his office and got no response. It is 12-17-10 and still nothing from Bitter. Have left dozens of messages on his and secretary voice mail (usually full). The last I advised to retrun our money or represent her responsibly. At this point i have had to hire another attorney to rep daughter and am in the process of filing a greivance with Tx State Bar.
