Replied last February 16, 2022The review written by Mr. Baldwin contains mainly false statements and fraudulent claims. I asked to him substitute me out of his case when he refused to follow my advice and insisted on going against my advice which was not in his best interest. As a result, I need to substituted out as I was not going to watch him take actions that would harm his case. He refused to substituted me out despite the false review that I was “lazy and moody.” He complemented me constantly stating that I was an excellent attorney and he was very appreciative to have me. I had to file a motion to withdraw from his case to substitute out of his case. He try to force me to work for him and for free. Does that sound like a client who is dissatisfied with my services? It’s complete opposite of his false statements made on this review. I also took his case with minimal funds as he was struggling. He had and has a significant balance and he manipulated me and gave me sad stories. Despite the lacking of funds, I still try to help this Client. I was always in frequent communication with the Client re his case. He was a nightmare to deal with! That is why there is saying “no good deed goes unpunished.”
