Wish I could give zero stars

I hired Mr English for a divorce. I liked his no-frills website (which no longer exists) and that he is a vet. My case was a little unusual but he assured me he could help. I gave him $3000, and he got back to me with a case # right away. That was basically the last I heard of him. Phone calls went u...nanswered and unreturned. Emails were replied to with "I'll get back to you" and he never did. I even sent certified mail to his 3 addresses and no response. I ended up getting a new lawyer almost 2 years later. When I told him I was firing him and moving on, his response was "let me make this up to you". Unfortunately, making it up to me didn't include returning any of my $3000. So he got $3k from me for about an hour's work. To this day I don't know what happened.

Family lawyer | Dec 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. English is one of the few reasonably priced "good" attorneys I know. He doesn't nickle and dime his clients like a lot of attorneys/firms. He has the skill to litigate cases when necessary, but always does his best resolve matters without trial, saving his clients both aggravation and expense."
