D. Brian Boggess

I retained Mr. Boggess for a lawsuit in May of 2019. Once he got the retainer, he stopped returning calls, texts & emails. He was unresponsive but I knew other attorneys that knew him. They could get him to call occasionally. On these calls, in 2019, he told me about court filings, process servic...e being completed or about going to court. I later found out that he did not even file the original complaint until January of 2020. This was 8 months after paying the retainer. I spent more time chasing Mr. Boggess than I spent chasing the defendant for the money he owed me. This was double the stress. Mr. Boggess did not listen to me. I gave him the defendants address that I had verified the defendant was living at. He sent the process server to some other old addresses. We never got service and couldn’t continue the case. He then filed motions to extend service time and filed a motion for judgment that we could not get because the defendant had never been summoned or served notice of the lawsuit. He was charging me for all this paperwork and told me that he had been served but, when I finally got copies of the paperwork, I could see that the process server never went to the address I had given Mr. Boggess. I eventually hired a new attorney. Mr. Boggess refused to give the file to my new attorney but, he got copies of filings from the court. He was not able to use any of Mr. Boggess’s work. We had to start all over again. Learn from my mistake, "Avoid this attorney!"
