Joel Francis Tamraz

We hired and fired him. In a couple of months he used up our retainer fee of $10,000. dollars. Of course the bills are not itemized. Our research shows that client's been suing him for Malpractice. He did not file our documents in time. He misplaced our documents when asked for them. He lied to use n...umerous of times. He sent documents to the wrong attorneys. I had to correct him. I thought I was working for him. ?? We agreed before we hired him along with a written document on things we needed done. Apparently months went by and nothing was done but the billing. No subpoenas or motions. Not even a phone call. He extended our court date a year out without our knowledge or consent. Later we found out he made agreements with opposing counsel. He has refused to turn over all correspondence's. He said he needed more time. ?? I asked Tamraz if he reviewed all the files. He said yes! I personally took some files out on purpose. Well he never reviewed the files. When I handed him the ones I took out. He put his head down and was silent. His excuse was that he was not taking his medications and wasn't feeling well. Tamraz is to old to perform his duties so he found an easy way out to deceive the clients for money. Make sure you have everything in writing. Record your conversations in his presents. If he refuses to do so that is a red flag. Do not hire him or you will be standing in line with the rest of us.
