What a waste of time and energy. I should have known better when I saw this guy's "law office" was next to a nail salon. It was unbelievably unprofessional. I felt like I was in an episode of "Better Call Saul" when I searched for an employment lawyer in the area. After meeting with this "lawyer" I l...eft more confused about what he could or couldn't do for me in my pending employment case. My "consultation" felt like nothing more than a shake down in desperation to get me to hire him. The entire meeting he was constantly bringing up new angles not even relevant to my case to see what I might agree to in order to make him sound hirable but never explained what he would actually do for my case, he only said that I needed representation, and for that representation to be him. I already knew I needed representation which is why I called a lawyer. I only called him because he's close to my home. The best thing he did provide was the contrast between a competent and knowledgable attorney and someone trying to fake it until they make it. When I left I actually went on the State Bar website to check to see if he was an actual lawyer or was I being tricked on a hidden video show. Don't even waste your time.
