Robert Conrad Borris Jr

Mr. Borris assured us he could, in no uncertain terms, take care of two separate legal issues, in which time was of the essence. Not only did he NOT handle either of the time sensitive issues but he also strung us along for months! He wouldn't return calls or emails & when we finally were able to mak...e contact w him, we had to spell out everything which had already been spelled out in previous conversations or emails. He eventually stated that he had a serious health issue, which I was extremly sympathetic too. I asked him if we needed to find another attorney? Again, Borris assured us that he could handle our legal issues. He continued to be non respondent to any attempts to make contact w him to get these issues resolved. We finally had had enough & fired him as our attorney. We wanted our money back! He refused! I filed a complaint w the State Bar & after a quite a bit of time & effort, we got most of our money back but ONLY WHEN THE STATE BAR GOT INVOLVED! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND this attorney!!

I initially contracted with Attorney Robert Borris via my insurance program about 10 years ago. Then his work was sloppy and often late. However, as he had background on my issues so I continued to contract with him and his sloppy work got even worse. He is a "glad hander" Will spend more time gettin...g to know you and discuss your interests in lieu of doing effective legal work. The latest was a simple case that should have been negotiated but he managed to get it into the court system. Then when he found out I had more disposal financial resources his estimate jumped from $1,500 to $20,000. He also guaranteed an hourly fee of $225 per hour but billed me for $300. Per hour. He was so unresponsive I ended up having to make contact with the attorney who represented the other person involved. I initially paid him $1,500 retainer and later another $1,500. Because he did not return phone calls, emails, letters I cancelled his “services” and demanded a return of the second $1,500. He has refused to return the funds and now I have to contract with a capable attorney to continue my case. This is particularly difficult as am in very poor health and in and out of hospitals on a regular basis. There is more and I can be contacted at [email protected] Your Desired Resolution: Return my latest retainer of $1,500 as no work was performed and I canceled his services This case will be reviewed by a complaint specialist at the Better Business Bureau, and then forwarded to the business for their response.
