Roy G. Franco

Roy G. Franco charged my sister 1000.00 to represent me. He sent lawyer George B. Dombart to represent me AFTER I HAD POSTED MY OWN BOND AND ARRANGED MY OWN DEFENSE WHEN I WAS RELEASED. I had never met with either attorney before I had my first court appearance and was shocked when George B. Dombart ...appeared instead of the public defender that I had previously requested and qualified for. I fired attorney Dombart on the spot and arranged to hire a new attorney who successfully brought in witnesses who testified to my innocence and the charges against me were dismissed and the case was closed. The reason I adamantly declined anyone associated with Mr. Franco is that he has a history of alcohol abuse, and even admitted to the use of illegal drugs. He had harassed me earlier about my religious/faith practices during unsolicited late night phone calls in which his speech was slurred and his temperament was bizarre. He also spread misinformation about me to our family members. Mr. Franco now refuses to take my phone calls, as well as my sister’s. He also refuses to return voice messages left on his answering machine. He has not responded to letters of demand for reimbursement of the 1000.00 that were sent via certified mail. Mr. Dombart, his associate, has behaved the same and my sister and I have filed formal grievance with the State Bar of Texas.
