   ***BE AWARE***

I STRONGLY SUGGEST SEEKING MORE HONEST ATTORNEY. I PUT MY LIFE SAVING TO PURCHASE A BUSINESS, AFTER FEW MONTHS THE LANDLORD  ILLEGALLY EVICTED ME.   MS. CHINEY UWECHUE, WAS REFEREED TO ME. I HAD TO BORROW THOUSAND OF DOLLARS FROM MY FRIEND TO RETAIN HER. LATE 2016  WE AGREED ON MS. CHINEY TO FILE... A LAW SUIT ON CONTINGENCY BASES. IN DEC 2016 WE HAD A MEETING IN HER OFFICE AND SHE ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL $3000.00  EVEN TOUGH SHE TOLD ME SHE WILL NOT ASK FOR ANY MORE MONEY TO RE REVIEW THE FILE, I OBJECTED TO THAT REMINDING HER THAT I ALREADY PAID FOR REVIEWING THE CASE. MS. CHANY REDUCED THE AMOUNT TO $2000.00 AND I AGAIN HAD TO BORROWED THIS MONEY . WE AGREED THAT THERE WILL NO PAYMENT TO HER TILL CASE IS CLOSED. SHE EMAILED ME THE NEW RETAINER AGREEMENT , I SIGNED  AND HAND DELIVERED TO HER OFFICE. THE CHECK FOR $2000 WAS ALSO MAILED TO HER. ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHE CONTACTED ME AND ACCUSED ME OF" ALTERING THE RETAINER AGREEMENT", I WAS SHOCKED OF HER ACCUSATION AND ASSURED HER THAT I NEVER TOUCHED THE CONTENT OF THE RETAINER AGREEMENT. I ASKED HER TO COMPARE MY SIGNED COPY WITH HER EMAIL THAT SHE SENT ME.  SHE SAID SHE CAN NOT REPRESENT ME ANY MORE EVEN TOUGH WE HAD AN AGREEMENT . Ms. CHINYE TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY SHE WOULD REPRESENT ME IS IF I PAY HER HOURLY!!!!! ( After we agreed for One time fee of $ 2,000 to review the documents and pay her after and if we Win the Lawsuit ) SHE COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED HER SELF TO COLLECT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM ME AND MISLEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT SHE WILL  REPRESENT ME ON CONTINGENCY BASES. I LOST ALL MY LIFE SAVING FOR BUYING A BUSINESS THAT LAND LORD ILLEGALLY EVICTED ME , AND HAD TO BORROW THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO PAY FOR AN ATTORNEY THAT IS NOT HONEST . I HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHERS TO NOT EXPERIENCE WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH.
