David Alan Dick

At the beginning of the case, David knew exactly what our financial situation was and what we expected to get done. Even after paying my portion of the original retainer, he would accuse me of paying nothing. Luckily I kept my cashiers check receipt. Throughout the case, he would only respond wh...en he felt like it and questions would go unanswered for weeks on end. There was a creditor trying to come to an agreement and at first David claimed that this was not his problem, even though it was directly related to the business we were fighting for. Ultimately he agreed to deal with the creditor and dropped the ball, which resulted in additional legal fees charged by the collector. All the creditor wanted was for us to begin a payment plan. He became increasingly irritable and would tell my wife things like "Get a clue" when she asked how to obtain information he was requesting we obtain. This was a common thing considering we personally prepared most exhibits in our own time and made the folders and presentations for the items. When I told him that "Get a clue" wasn't as helpful of a response as informing us how to obtain the information, he basically held the case hostage and suggested we find a new attorney if we had a problem with it. At this point, we had no more money and had already paid the retainer. The case has been settled and before the decision to settle was made, David informed us that we would not be responsible for any remaining/additional balance if we avoided trial by accepting the settlement. We accepted the settlement. Even today David is still trying to argue with me through email after I have told him that there is nothing left to talk about since we no longer have any business to conduct. If you do hire David, which I would not recommend, I would keep all receipts of payment, as well as having all terms put in writing to avoid these disputes that still occur after the case is settled and dismissed.
