David E. Hilles III

After an eleven year, drawn out case, Mr. Hilles filed an appeal on my behalf and charged me the appropriate filing fees. He cashed my check but failed to pay the filing fees, even after he received a second notice for payment from the Court. Shortly thereafter, the Court dismissed my request for a...ppeal due to my lack of payment. Mr. Hilles failed to inform me of this dismissal and of the ten-day window I was offered to resubmit my request with payment, costing me a favorable opportunity to win a $40K judgment. I later discovered he was not even an appellate lawyer. I requested an explanation of why the filing fees were not paid and why he failed to inform me of the dismissal, preventing me from refiling and Mr. Hilles has failed to respond. Either he is an extremely incompetent lawyer or he intentionally sabotaged my case after he was paid to protect my interest.
