Christopher Wenzel Carr

To summarize my chief complaints; the communication was so sparse and misleading, that I do believe Chris was disinterested, unprepared, or distracted by the opportunity to generate quick revenue to the firm. Regardless of the outcomes, I feel I deserved more in terms of communication and consultatio...n than just meeting to collect fees and 15min before each court appearance. Furthermore, Chris failed to respond to a significant number of my questions by phone and email, and when he did, the responses were insufficient, inaccurate, or untimely. Telling me what I hoped to hear with regards to sentencing, probation, and travel, resulted in greater damages than if he’d given me an accurate or worst-case scenario. While it may be impractical to file a complaint before the Attorney Regulation Counsel, as lack of effort, poor performance, and failure to adequately communicate with a client is not necessarily malfeasance, bait and switch of strategy/fees might be seen as unethical if it was deliberate. I believe deep down Chris is a good man who was just over his head and under a lot of pressure to produce for the firm, rather than for the client.
