Dishonest

This lawyer is very deceitful and misleading. He shouldn't practice because he takes advantage of cases and takes you through a ringer and then charges thousands of dollars, he comes up with theories and makes you believe you are on the right path but in reality he likes to set u up so you feel like ...you need him. I've retained in 2021 my case is still not finished. For everyone who is looking for a lawyer please look somewhere because he is not honest. He has harrased me, extortioned me, and still continue to over charge and threatened me.
