Terrible experience

Hired Paul Vorndren of Jones and Keller for a civil lawsuit. Representation was poor. I had to stay on top of everything. I had to remind him of decisions made by the court on certain filings. He had apparently forgotten. Too late I learned that he did not request vital information from opposing... counsel during discovery and this definitely weakened my case. His negotiating skills are poor. He did not obtain all the funds from defendant that the court had ruled on. I have called him several times and emailed several times asking for copies of communications between him and opposing counsel. He has not once returned my calls or answered my emails. I am not sure as to the ethics of this practice but it is certainly a questionable business practice. I will have to search out from other sources about ethical issues. I would never recommend him or the firm
