Not worth one star

I needed a lawyer to defend me against an ex who was seeking a restraining order on a bogus allegation. Let me be clear about this: there was not a shred of truth or proof to her allegation. Before we went to court he told me he was ready to take on the allegation. But in court, Bilu didn't lift a f...inger to contest the plaintiff's lawyer who used her concocted story to get the court to issue a restraining order. He just sat there and didn't say a word in my defense. Bilu sold me down the river and because of him my reputation is soiled. I had never before or since been involved with the law or police. And in this case there was no police involvement. Keep away from Bilu. He'll take your money and do nothing for you.
