1 star because zero is not an option

Told me my case was fine nothing to worry about never mentioning he wasn’t working on my case at all!! Instead he was just making up bills for work he never did. The reason he never did any work on my case was because he was disbarred!!! Yep and never told me. I lost everything. And I paid him 10’...s of thousands of dollars to add insult to injury. Now the guy has disappeared. And the bar says …. Sorry nothing we can do he’s already disbarred.
