Gabriel Castellanos

I hired Mr. Castellanos as I was considering contesting a recent court Family Law court order. After research, I was convinced a motion to set side was best. However, after a consultation with Mr. Castellanos, he insisted a motion for reconsideration was best and pressured me into hiring him on the s...pot since I had 2 days left to file this motion. After pressuring me into paying him a $9,000 flat "non-refundable" fee upfront, he called me and said he will not do the motion for reconsideration, and that motion to set aside was best (as I said all along). After I hired him, he dropped the ball on important deadlines and was oblivious to the matters of my case to the point I had to fire him and hire a new attorney within a few weeks! Other than a few small e-mail exchanges, a two page draft of the motion he began working on, and reviewing a few documents, Mr. Castellanos did nothing else on my case during these few weeks until I fired him. Yet he refused to refund any portion of the $9,000 I paid him.
