Replied last August 15, 2024Mr. Tobar you are the Opposing Party in a case I handled. I have reviewed the recorded call in question. As the opposing party in this matter, you sought assistance that we are under no obligation to provide. However, my office manager, Candy Ryan, attempted to verify your email address to send you the requested document as a courtesy. During this interaction, you expressed dissatisfaction with our office's service and demanded an apology from Ms. Ryan. When not provided one your frustration led to an attempt to influence her by threatening to leave this negative review. Please be aware that our primary responsibility is to our client, who has expressed complete satisfaction with our services, as evidenced by their 5-star review. Despite the challenging nature of your interactions, my office still fulfilled your request by providing the document. Attorney, George Ruiz
