Very bad experience

During my consultation, he promised me he would do a lot of things. He might even be able to get my cases dismissed. As time went he never responded to any of my calls and sent an assistant to cover my causes. My payment was made in full. He rarely showed up for court so he sent an assistant th...at was not experienced. He will demand more money and if you don't pay him, He will quickly file for a withdrawal from your case without communicating with you. I never felt once that he was there to help me. All he wants is your money and when he gets it he will not do anything you request. I am not rich, I work every day to make ends meet and I still paid his exorbitant fees. It was hell dealing with him. I felt like I was always in the dark. I am very disappointed in his services. I do not recommend him to anyone. I would watch court-appointed lawyers do more for their clients than the lawyer I paid in full do nothing for me and be very confused. It was very unfair but that is what happened to me.

I'm not sure if this person has reviewed the correct David Sloane. These facts don't resemble any case that I have had. Withdrawing from a case is not something an attorney can do without satisfying the trial judge by written motion there is good reason for doing so. The fees I charge are very competitive with lawyers with similar experience and aptitude. If a client substantially fails to pay the agreed fees after repeated warnings I will withdraw, just like any attorney. If a client moves with no forwarding address and all mail is returned; he refuses to answer or return numerous phone calls for weeks on end; and fails to respond to numerous emails such that I cannot effectively represent him, I will withdraw. This was the case in the one and only case from which I have withdrawn in the last year. Evidence of which was all presented to the judge at the time of my withdrawal.
