Non-Return of Payment

Atty Sloane was retained for a weapons charge on a first time offender. I was never charged in the case, only met and spoke to David Sloane at the time I retained him. He had me sign a "flat-rate contract" which is frowned upon by both the Tarrant County Bar association and the TX Bar Association. ... I did not know at the time. Since then, David Sloane has never once called me to keep me up to date on the case, to let me know anything. His suggestion, to sit and wait it out. It has been two years, and I am assuming I will not be charged in this case. I asked for a return of any unused retainers and he refuses to return anything. From my contact with the Tarrant Bar Association, attorneys should only charge for time and work they actually did on the case. He even admitted that there were no hourly notes or timesheets kept with regards to any work they supposedly performed on this case. They should NOT charge flat rate fees. I have begun my dispute and it will be handled by an arbitration committee. Either way, I believe Attorney David Sloane is untrustworthy when it comes to trying to recoup money for work that was never done.

When the prosecution backs down and doesn't pursue charges against my client due to my preemptive and proactive efforts to back them down, I do not then give a refund because the client was "never charged." Especially when they come back years after the fact and attempt recoup legal fees actually paid by their former employer. My contracts are in strict compliance with bar rules and this "dispute" was investigated and summarily dismissed by the State Bar.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
