Trust not

A simple explanation.. they paralegal I talk to had the nerve to call the client I was there to talk about .. her name I believe is Kelly after I asked her several times if this meeting was confidential she looked me in the eyes and said yes not 1 but 2 or 3 times .. she lied no sooner than I left t...here she made a phone call ... DO NOT TRUST THIS LAW FIRM !!!!!!!!!!!

TOOK MY MONEY AND RAN

I paid Melissa a retainer fee, and couldn't get a hold of her again. Her office never returned my calls, and she finally just sent me a letter saying that she would not be able to represent me. Despite numerous calls to her and her office for a refund of my retainer, I never heard from her again an...d never got a refund. I am now in the process of filing a complaint with the TX Bar Assoc. for misconduct. I also found out, later, that she never even initially filed with the courts to represent me...even though she told me she had. What a scam!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
