He will take your money and ignore you after he receive your information

This attorney is very shady he will try to act like he’s going to work with you but after you pay it’s a wrap don’t expect nothing to get done don’t expect no phone follow up just expect the worst case scenario been there done that what a waste of time and money from somebody who doesn’t even know wh...at they’re doing .

Never Again

I hired atty balfour because i was referred to him, gave him the benefit of the doubt & trusted him...only to find out he was inconsistent, hard to reach, he tells you 1 thing & later on its another he's very rude, he was very interested in helping me when he took my money, but now he doesn't even c...are...if attorneys are attorneys for the financial part of their career only they should not be an attorney...he is not sincere at all and does not care about anything but the money. I dont get in trouble so picking an attorney i knee nothing about, but had i known he'd turn out this way i would have given my money to an attorney who actually cares or is that a such thing ?

Balfour is the worst of the worst attorneys Ever

The worst decision I could have made was to hire this incompetent, inexperienced and mentally challenged man for an atty. He admits having severe ADHD, diabetes and HBP. He could not handle the stress and pressure of going up against a more experienced, aggressive atty.
