#1 I signed a retainer contract for an immigration matter that indicated a retainer fee was $1,000 but he told me verbally that I owed $1500. I had my own attorney catch this. I wonder how many other unsuspecting immigrants/families missed this by not reading the contract? #2 I was called by the... attorney approximately a few DAYS before some missing paperwork was due to the state causing me to leave work and run around frantically to get it together. Then, after I get it, he calls me to say that he never read the immigration paperwork thoroughly and realized that my W2 was enough. #3 Crickets! I stopped hearing from the firm for a long time despite the agreement stating that I would be kept informed throughout the process. I called-I have documented call logs proving this-numerous times leaving unreturned messages. To make matters worse, his sister and colleague, would answer the phone and talk to me with complete disdain. She was extremely rude and combative and acted annoyed that I was calling for an update. It wasn't until months later that I heard from the attorney. Why? Because I stopped payment on my credit card transaction for the retainer fee since I couldn't get a hold of my own attorney. Interesting that it took that to get a reply. He didn't apologize or even want an explanation. In fact, he threatened to sue me. I would definitely not recommend this attorney. It should never been difficult getting in touch with your lawyer, and I have since found another well-respected attorney to handle all of my personal and business needs.
