did not deserve even one star

I wish there was a zero star to use. After multiple text, call and confirmation of the firm location w/him by text, he made an appt for 2:00 pm for me yesterday. I arrived 1:50 pm and let him know that I was in his office( no secretary). at 2;00 pm he texted me back "I am on my way, and be there in 2...0 min. I thought that your appt was in Anaheim office" I took a pic of his personal cell phone text message to me confirming Laguna hills office and sent him along a w/ a text saying that I would leave sharp at 20 min later( I knew it would be min of 55 min from there to the location and didn't like him to play the game of 10 more min constantly w/me till he arrives probably at 3:00 pm. My time is more valuable than he thinks). He replied "then leave ) so I was right he was going to keep me waiting. An hr later he send me a text and apologizing for not being at the appt made by him, himself and offered me a discount which was another trick. He raised the agreed fee up 35% and gave me a 12% discount from the increased fee( very generous of him)! He also asked me how I got his contact b/c I wasn't in his system( third issue, he made the appt for me himself confirmed it and didn't even enter me to his scheduling system). Of course, I did not accept his offer. How could I trust him that the next time he doesn't forget about the appt again? My time was already wasted about an hr and 15 min. How could I believe him that there would be a 20 min wait the next time and not an hr? He didn't even remember while we talked on the phone and communicated by text messages a week ago( selective memory loss of course). In general as a business owner, I never trust anyone( especially an attorney) who didn't keep his word for just once. This issue happened about him multiple times. How a forgetful Estate attorney who can not remember his own words to a client from the last week, could remember her long after her death to execute the will? I kept the entire exchanged text messages in case someone need a proof of my statement.
