It was a complete waste of time trying to talk with this attorney. I was accused of being rude, loud and offensive. A real first for me. She spent most of her time taking her pent up anger out on me. Example "I will not tolerate your type of behavior and raising your voice to me." Huh? She was ...on Speaker Phone and 1 other people heard our entire conversation. They agreed this attorney was "on the edge of a nervous breakdown." I wanted to get off the phone asap, apologized if I had offended her and said that it was not my intention. After that, she criticized me for apologizing, told me to simply change pharmacies and finally admitted that she didn't know anything about the topic in question. It was a totally inane conversation that questioned her own professional liability. That was the legal advice I pay for monthly? I use a pharmacy that is a block away from my home and extremely convenient. However, she didn't even give me time to explain why I wanted to stay there. Obviously, her "Legal Consultation" could have been made by almost anyone. I needed current and specific information that any attorney, listed with that particular specialty, should have had. After she rattled on for a few more minutes, telling me about all her daily frustrations, I thought about sending her a bill for therapy. As a retired Multiperil Commercial Lines Reinsurance Underwriter, I felt relieved that I had not let myself step down to her level of inappropriate incompetence, considered cancelling my membership and finally just chalked it up to what it was = A waste of time. We all have bad days and no one is perfect. The secret is to stay home, or in this case possibly leave work early, until you feel better. Do not try to squeeze in that last phone call if your not up to it. Or use people, paying for professional consultation, as your personal punching bags.
