Highly Unprofessional and a Liar

Binkley handled two civil cases for me. He did not inform me of important Court hearings and motions and he did not show up at important Court hearings and did not respond to a Motion for Summary Judgement while he withheld important information from me and lied all along until I lost both of my civ...il cases because of him.

unresponsive and unprofessional

I retained Mr. Binkley in early July to assist with conservatorship issues and later for probate issues for my cousin's estate. He scheduled and canceled 7 telephone conferences, without notifying me in advance of the meeting cancellations. To date I have had no communication with him (though I ha...ve made many attempts), nor resolution of any of the estate issues. I am attempting to have the retainer fee returned.

Very frustrating experience

I contacted Daryl's office after I tried to go through a probate case on my own, ( I am not an atty.) after getting through about a 75% of the process. The case was in the Palm springs court, and I live in AZ. On the initial call, Daryl was polite and asked for payment up front, I did so, and that w...as the last prompt call-back I received. It took almost a year to finish it up. I have a long list of ph. calls and emails, it took to get any kind of response out of the office. To best of my memory, no filing was done when promised, I called the court to confirm whether a filing took place or not. This was the most frustrating experience I have ever had with an Atty.
