Jonathan Christopher Tobin

I entrusted Jonathan Tobin from Counsel for Creators to handle a willful copyright infringement case.  Mr. Tobin assured me I had an excellent case and was a credible plaintiff.  A letter of agreement was signed and I payed thousands of dollars in fees.  For the next two years I jumped through eve...ry legal hoop thrown at me by Mr. Tobin.  I compiled hundreds of pieces of evidence, filed innumerable DMCA's, wrote endless emails,  composed summaries, list of actors, timelines, you name it.   When we finally discussed a filing date, Mr. Tobin sprung a new challenge.  I was instructed to obtain unopened copies of the infringed material from the Library of Congress.  As always, I complied. I payed over $400 in fees and waited an additional four more months for the packet to arrive.  With everything ostensibly completed, I called Mr. Tobin repeatedly in anticipation of filing my case as promised.  Weeks elapsed with no response.  When I finally did get through, Mr. Tobin's tone and attitude had dramatically shifted.  Mr. Tobin informed me he was no longer "litigating" and my case would be dropped.  No credible explanation, no apology, no nothing.   Years of victimization resulting from infringed copyrighted materials was  bookended by years of victimization by an attorney who purposely lead me down a dead end.  To add insult to injury, Mr. Tobin claimed he would try to find another attorney to litigate on my behalf.   Like all his previous assurances, it never came to fruition. Because the statues of limitations were now quickly running out, I was forced to immediately solicit another attorney.  The urgency of this task was overwhelming.  It also created innumerable anxiety, cost thousands of additional dollars and wasted hundreds of hours of time.  Fortunately, I was able to secure ethical, competent and professional counsel who resolved my case in my favor.   Needless to say, I would never contemplate using Counsel for Creators for anything, let alone something as valuable as my intellectual properties.   To this day, I feel maltreated and abused  by Mr. Tobin.  He sadistically toyed with me for over two years, was disingenuous in his legal promises and abandoned me knowing full well the statutes of limitations was running out.   If I could give Counsel for Creators zero stars, I would.
