LIE

I hate to give one star! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MOVE YOUR OFFICE!? HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO USE THAT EXCUSE FOR NOT DOING THE JOB YOU WERE PAID TO DO! YOU NEED TO BE DISBARRED! He is completely unresponsive to emails and phone calls. He does not try to settle your case. He lies and tells you t...he other attorney is not responding. Most recently, he claimed his office had been moving for over a month, and that's an excuse for being non-responsive. I agree with all the other reviews. The secretary is rude. This lawyer is a fast-talking salesman. Quick to take your money and slow if at all to respond. He doesn't care about you or your case. He doesn't care about what you have to say or your evidence. He cares about collecting your money and leaving you high and dry! He's a lawyer's lawyer; he is not your lawyer! RUN AWAY! DO NOT USE!

Was very condescending

He was short, rude as his secretary was too. I’ just recently loss my son and all he could say is you need help are you seeing a psychiatrist?? Then said “I don’t take payment plans, I AM in a position where I don’t have too. Which tells me he’s not a attorney who cares, just about the money!!

Laura, thank you for the review; however, I must offer my response fairly and accordingly to the facts and allegations stated in your review. First, I was not short with you, as you had a 3:30 p.m. appointment and did not arrive at my office until 4:15 p.m., after being coached-in turn-by-turn over the phone by my "secretary," until you were able to locate my office. Even after arriving 45 minutes late, you were then provided a FREE 45-minute consultation with me to evaluate your case. Secondly, I am saddened to learn of the loss of your son a year ago, but I don't see where my showing concern, inquiring about your mental wellbeing, and asking how you are holding up is deserving of a 1-star review. Thirdly, although your deceased son was a part of our discussion, your review inaccurately states that "ALL [I] could say is you need help are you seeing a psychiatrist..." while actually, we spent the majority of the 45-minute consultation discussing the facts of your pending lawsuit, I looked-up your case on the county database, read and tracked all of the legal action that had taken place over the last 4-5 YEARS by your previous 2 attorneys, and we discussed (1) the status of your case, (2) your expectations with your case, (3) available options, and (4) likely / possible outcomes. Fourthly, my "rude" "secretary" spent approximately 15 minutes with you on the phone, prior to your making the appointment, discussing various topics, such as (1) my normal fee arrangement, (2) my customary, initial trust deposit ("retainer") for cases such as yours, (3) that I do not offer "payment plans," and (4) sharing thoughts and feelings of the unfortunate experience of losing a child, as my "secretary" (actually paralegal) also lost her own child several years ago, who was 14 years of age, when she passed. Finally, on the first day of law school, my first professor told us that if we were attending law school to be wealthy, we needed to get up and walk out, because the profession of law, while financially rewarding, must be primarily driven by the desire to help others. My paralegal, Pam, and I do deeply care about our clients, and I bet that for every 1 comment, such as yours, implying that "we don't care," I have a hundred other clients who would vouch for me and state otherwise. Make no mistake, I am in this business to make money and support my family, but please do not accuse me of not caring because I am not willing to honor the payment arrangement you proposed, even after being advised in advance, over the phone by Pam, that I did not accept payment plans. Further, my job as a lawyer is to provide legal guidance to clients, which sometimes is telling them what they don't want to hear. I evaluated your case and provided you with my legal opinion and suggested course of action, which is what I am supposed to do. Just because you don't like what my legal opinion is DOES NOT JUSTIFY A 1-STAR REVIEW. I sincerely wish you the best of luck finding the attorney who is the right fit for you to finalize your legal matter.

DO NOT USE

Very unprofessional. RED FLAG!!!!---take my advice. I could write a whole page as to why but lets just say--he did not spend a minute on my case and did not fight for me! --I should of known when his RUDE secretary did not care--and when I had to call daily and email and beg for me to come drop stuff... off---no responses..i should of gone with my GUT! HE embarrassed me in court and when we were done he said, well we tried. NO HE DIDNT! and this had to do with winning my 2 children!! ALSO-he sent me someone elses info through email that was not even my CASE! he could get in trouble for that!

I am shocked by this review. While I do not necessarily agree with the Court's adverse ruling against my client in this case, said ruling was not due to my lack of preparation, my professionalism, nor my care or concern for my client. I do care what happens in ALL of my client's cases. In fact, I am still disappointed with the Judge's ruling in this case, just as I am disappointed in reading this client review, which I feel is unjustified and unwarranted. Attorneys cannot change the facts of their cases, cannot "undo" prior actions of their clients, and cannot select which judge hears the case. It is simply too easy to blame the results on the attorney, but my professionalism, diligence, and caring interest is not to blame for the results of this case.

CHILD CUSTODY TEMP ORDER

I hired Brian Mceachern to represent me with my case to switch to the custodial parent for my daughter. He did a great job and I highly recommend his law firm. Very reasonable price as well.

Bryan McEachern/ A super attorney

My attorney helped me get through a very devastating divorce. He represented me well and my children and I got everything we requested. He was also very understanding and respectful.
