Posted by Ed | January 26, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Mr. Ed Cami

We hired Attorney Michael S. DeFine on September 4, 2019, to do our family will and we paid him $500 to complete this Will in a few days as he promised us. Since he cashed the check on 9/5/2019 we didn't hear from him until I called him on December 30, 2020, and he told me to call him at the beginni...ng of January. Since then he refused to answer my calls, messages, and emails until I threatened him to take him to court. Until today January 26,2021 he did not finish our Will document. Our case against Mr. De Fine is now in process with the proper government official Agencies.
