This review is a reflection of my opinion about the terrible/awful experience I had with this law firm. The decision to hire Dodds law firm was a regrettable and unfortunate one. The consultations I had with Dan Dodds aimed to persuade and convince that he has solutions and answers to my legal matter...s. Once I signed on and paid the retainer fees, the solutions went out of the window, and become insensible and unadvisable. He made some promising resolutions during the consultation only to secure a client. Then He later denied he never made, that’s when I realized I was lured into a trap, and deliberately misled and misguided, my true intentions and what I intended to do were rerouted and he ultimately pursued a course of action that is differs from my desired outcome, rooted in dishonesty, neglect can be used as a dishonest tactic to avoid obligations. Dan Dodds failed to act on time sensitive court orders; he failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in dealing with my case. Which resulted in missing out the chance for a positive resolution. Dan’s procrastination and unwillingness to move forward and waiting longer then necessary in my case left me feeling out of control and helpless. He failed to take timely and swift legal action. Additionally I suffered unnecessary anxiety and stress due to him playing fast and loose with headlines the client's vulnerability and distress are exploited, and preyed upon by this firm. I ended up paying thousands of dollars in legal fees, Ultimately I am still at square one. He established a corrupt system where he marking up time by inflating the hours spent on a case. Prolonging a legal process unnecessarily to maximize fees, abusing his position where the client is compelled to accept and pay for unnecessary services, his fees are excessive, exorbitant, unreasonable designed to Deplete the client’s trust account and ensure that the client will not receive any refund from the payments made to the firm. There is a lack of financial transparency in the firm's billing practices difficult to detect without careful scrutiny of itemized bills. Charging excessive. Unconscionable fees for reviewing file repeatedly or reviewing the same information multiple times. Billing at their high rate for the administrative task of simply organizing or finding files, the firm over billing often masked by vague time entries like “work on file” or “review documents”. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to keep their clients reasonably informed about the status of their cases. However, Poor communication, neglecting client, not returning calls, failing to keep client informed about their case, are some of the unethical practices I experienced at dodds law firm. Taking a look back at the terrible experience I had, you must ask yourself, is that who you want to represent you and handle your case during the critical time in your life? The answer that is both intelligent and wise is (I don’t believe so). I don’t recommend this law firm to anyone, its untrustworthy and lacks integrity it should be investigated for unethical practices. Don’t be fooled by the fake paid reviews, I sincerely doubt if all of the positive reviews are legitimate and genuine. If you hire this law firm you will be lighting fire on your money and burning a hole in your wallet, you will set yourself up for a financial ruin you will be overwhelmed and drowned in fees and charges that exceed your expectations.my advise is to stay away from this firm, and think twice Before making a decision to hire a firm that will start draining your hard earned money and leave you high and dry.
