Bully Lawyer that love promoting his 30 or 32 year career only
I told Dan that my employer was not interested in a settlement. ..I think he thought if he told my former employer about his career and 30/32 years as an attorney and they would just settle on his credentials...He wasted my time...didn't communicate...threatened to sue me if I did a review....oh yea ...

Odd experience
Hired him for discrimination claim against employer. And without good explanation he dropped the case leaving me frantically searching for new attorney. Never meet face to face. And only corresponded through email. Not reliable.
I have been a practicing attorney for 32 years with a spotless record with the State Bar of Texas. I pride myself on excellent and prompt client communications. I have no idea who posted this but guarantee you they never paid me a dime because I only charge a fee if I win. I do cases in two phases: pre-lawsuit and then lawsuit if the case cannot be resolved and if there are sufficient grounds to file a lawsuit. If I did not further pursue the case to litigation it was because there were not sufficient grounds to pursue it, and the client pays me nothing unless I recover money for them. So I tried to help this person, got paid nothing and was trashed when I could not proceed further.
