Contract violation

My adult daughter who is medically disabled and receives SSI hired this lawyer for a Parental Order modification for an initial fee of $3500, the extent of her savings. Not only did he not honor his signed contract with regard to the Parental Order modification with her, but he also asked for an addi...tional fee of $2000 approximately 12 months later. He failed to explain to her on her initial call with him how she would be billed or that additional money would be required for the Parental Order modification. Further, he did not send her a monthly or bimonthly invoice so that she could see how her money was being spent. She had never hired a lawyer before and didn't understand how her money being was used. She had no idea that every cell phone call, every email, every text would be billed against her. I filed a complaint with the Texas Bar Association on behalf of my daughter and to my surprise they dismissed the case. He had hired a lawyer to defend himself against me. I am a professional engineer and have no legal background. However, because of my engineering business of 40 years I do know a little about "contract law" and that he violated the contract.

This is a false review. This person actually went to the State Bar of Texas with a similar complaint, which was found to be not true. This review should be removed. We just reviewed this person’s case file and their 6th attorney is now removing himself from the case because this individual is completely unreasonable and out of control. Having hired six lawyers and every one removing themselves from the case says just about all anyone needs to know about this individual.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
