I am not in the habit of discussing either my client's (or former client's) problems in a public forum, but obviously I am compelled to respond to the patently false statements contained in the above "review." These are the facts: 1) Within a week of retaining me, this client, who was recently convicted on felony charges for vindictive/destructive behavior against others, demonstrated herself to be unreasonable and impossible to work with; 2) Shortly after terminating our attorney/client relationship (without cause and not based on any actual breach of performance on my part, although that is her right), she learned that because I already had expended several hours of attorney time, she was going to be receiving only a partial refund. 3) The client then took the matter to fee arbitration to recover the minor portion of unrefunded fees, in which she made numerous false claims similar to the ones in her review; 4) The neutral Arbitrator found against the client in all respects, ordered her to pay all arbitration costs, and issued a statement of factual findings which is directly contrary to the client's claims. In short, the above appears to be retaliation for losing the arbitration case. In reality, the judicial record would show that I did go to court (contrary to the review), and that the client paid cash because a) she decided to hire me about 12 hours before I was to appear in court (leaving no time for a check to clear); and b) she already had bounced a check to my colleague who had referred me the case. Regardless, I wish her the best of luck with everything, and I regret that this unpleasant matter has made its way onto this forum.
