Trevor John Herrera

Hired this attorney for medical malpractice case, and right at the get go, he arrives one hour late to my expert witness' deposition. Instead of calling the defense or my expert's office to inform of his tardiness, he calls me and has me attempt to do the calling. When he arrived, he did not defend m...y expert but sat there and watched him get badgered and mislead by the defense without making objections. I had waited 2 days for him to call me after wondering how the deposition went. I had to find out the above by reading the deposition transcript. Trevor Herrera decides to abandon me instead after tainting my case. But I would not sign a substitution form. Trial on my case was only 6 weeks away at this point. I was very upset with him, but he needed to fix what he did wrong, and I held him to it. He promised to do so, but then continued to set my case back, and on top of that started writing me defamatory letters with false outlandish statements hoping i would voluntarily fire him. When I confronted him, he apologized and promised to get on the ball. But instead he continued to set me back. Furthermore, in violation of our contingency retainer agreement, he started demanding I find distrust account $35,000 when I had not signed anything stating I would. I am on federal disability from a catastrophic injury to boot. I signed only a contingency agreement - not one front money in advance. He even called me 2 days before the defendants had scheduled to depose my mother 500 miles away, unbeknownst to me, saying they would not be defending her deposition if I didn't pay for their plane ticket. I felt so threatened and scared, that I used all my disability check which is supposed to pay for my rent to buy his plane ticket. When he arrived at the deposition, my mom said he did not do anything but sat there. It was like he was there for nothing. They continued to demand money from me, although they had no right to. Because of this he accompanied his supervisor who had been telling what to do all along to a motion to be relieved, misrepresented to the judge and lied to the judge which is a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and they abandoned me One Month before Trial. Very poor representation and very harmful. Now I'm stuck looking for new attorney with Trial only weeks away. Very bad.
