Lawyer who doesn't care about your case

Mr. Bailey was late to every hearing over a two year period. He did not keep me informed on my case. He kept conferring with my ex-husband without me present. Informed ex-husbands attorney he "just wanted to get this over with" not knowing I heard him.. .. Quite surprised when he noticed I heard ...him. He recommended a deposition (over 500.00) and never used it in court, as a matter of fact he could not find it when I asked for it. My case was sabotaged repeatedly by my attorney. I lost 50% custody of my two children to a man they are afraid of thanks to this man, when the only thing I did was get an increase in child support, which ultimately I lost that too and even more of my child support after Mr. Bailey took my case. I did all of the legwork on my case and Mr. Bailey asked me to bring my information to court because I was more organized than him. He never felt like he cared one way or another for my case. His parallegal gave me all the advice I got that was worth anything. The first day in court, he showed up and asked me what we were here for, then said Oh yeah custody. He shared with me that he usualy just "wings it " when he goes to court, which upset me. He later stated that he was joking ,but, it did not seem like he was prepared EVER. We were made to look like fools. In my opinion Mr. Bailey is not an honest man and would not do anyone justice.
