Michael Peter Olel Okayo

Mr. Okayo was attorney of record on my federal case. The first red flag was in March 2026. The declaration he sent me to sign for our opposition to the defendant's motion to set aside the default was titled as an opposition to the plaintiff's motion, and we were the plaintiff. It also had my legal na...me wrong. After that I checked everything he drafted. The renewed motion for default judgment filed in February 2026 was denied in August, with the court pointing to how the evidence was organized and presented. I then rebuilt the evidence package and sent it to him in mid-August. He was out of the country for about three weeks, and the filing sat. The drafts he sent in late September and October had damages figures that didn't match between the brief and my declaration, citations to the wrong paragraphs and no page numbers. I caught them. One October draft also reverted my signed declaration to figures I had told him in writing were superseded. I was billed for the time spent fixing these. Phone calls and texts were rarely returned, and emails often went weeks without a reply. Not recommended.
