David T. Lopez

I have been having problems, of an ethical nature, for a long time regarding the gross conduct of Mr. Lopez. Yes, I have tried to handle this matter on my own by faxes but to no avail. I tried recently to have mediation but he "declined." He is a man of bad faith and ill will towards me. Mr. Lope...z did not have a web site when I hired him. In May, 2018, when I discovered his web site, I found out that he deals with employment law only 10% of the time in his practice (he changed it to 20% after I wrote to him). I faxed him in May, 2018, that had he informed me at the $800 consultation he charged, I would not had paid him $16,000 to take my HISD termination case which lasted a few days. Even 20% is too inexperienced (and it showed) to represent me. I was a teacher (24 years) and $16,800 is a lot of money to pay anyone. And it gets worse. Once my check cleared my bank, he and his office manager/wife started treating me with gross disrespect. For example, he constantly put me down verbally and demonstrated how out-of-his-element he was at my brief termination hearing. He did not even give a closing so that he did not have to come back after Memorial Day. The hearing was decided against me and I had to fire him immediately and represent myself in front of the HISD School Board. I had no more money to appeal. I am most willing to take a modern and upgraded polygraph, is Mr. Lopez? All of the above has been written in my faxes to him which he completely has ignored. I also put all of the above in my mediation which he declined to participate.
