Replied last July 01, 2019

Dear Zach: Thank you for taking the time to post a review on Avvo. As laid out in our correspondence to you on June 25, 2019, our firm spent 8.7 attorney hours on your case and 11.3 paralegal hours, for a total of 20 hours. Our attorneys attended court in Rockwall County for you on three occasions, without being fully paid to do so. Moreover, our attorneys protected your legal rights with the court system before we withdrew from your case – again without being fully paid to do so. Despite the clear terms of our contract, you breached same on 4 separate occasions. We gave you 3 opportunities to make good on your obligations to us. You failed to do so. Despite having no obligation to do so, we refunded you 1/6 of your retainer. Accordingly, we wound up representing you at a financial loss. While I regret you are disappointed with our services, I am sure you can understand why we withdrew from your representation. Best of luck, William A. Pigg
