Horrible attorney

Tells you he's going to do something to get your money, then doesn't do it. Reported him to the Texas state bar. Should not be practicing law.

STOLE MY MONEY

Paid $270 for him to represent me in a speeding ticket. He said he went to court for me but did not and a warrant for my arrest was issued. At my next court date, I told him for weeks in advance about it, and he still didn't show. I had to pay $300 for a $125 speeding ticket. Frank said he would p...ay me back my money, and it has been 3 months.

Will lie just to take your money

I hired him for a mold problem in my apartment complex and i wanted him to get me out of my lease. During the consultation he told me that he would get me out of my lease in the next two weeks, he would get me money back for damages and movers and a million other things. I paid him thinking that i wo...uld be able to get out of the mold. After he was paid i did more work then him. He could never seem to get in touch with the apartment complex (but i always could). After two months of still living in mold he told me that he had a meeting with my apartment manager and that they said i would be let out of my lease but he needed them to get it in writing. Nothing ever happened after that. I never received none of the things his promised and after he said that he is sorry because he should have told me during the consultation that it was no guarantee that he would get me anything back. I emailed him asking for copies of the documents of what he did and it’s been two weeks and i still never received it.

Doesn't do anything just takes your money

I've called this lawyer multiple times, he has not provided any service to me and always acts as if he I haven't paid him for his service. He has taken no action to assist me and everytime I call the team acts like it's the first time I've ever called. Lost 200 dollars and now I have to pay for the t...icket out of pocket . The team never emails me the items they say they will email , they never have any new updates on my case and it's been over 6 months and my driver's license is about to be suspended. Avoid this lawyer at all costs biggest red flag is whenever you call he always has the same line , you tell him your issue and he agrees and then promises you that if you pay xyz amount he will get it taken care of , how does that sound ? Then you pay and they forget about you, Everytime I call and they don't realize who I am they reuse the same line over and over again so I know now that they just take people's money and never really do anything. You have to basically make them work for you by constantly calling and harassing them
