A selfish being who puts himself ahead of clients.

I had gotten into a car accident a little over half a year ago. He looked at my case and said he would take it. Then he turned around and said he wouldn't take it because it wasn't an easy win for him. Then later on when things looked a little better and we tried him again because he had worked with ...another family member of mine for quite a few years (close to a decade), he picked up the case again. I signed the contract and everything. He didn't give me much information and really didn't present himself to me. No reassurance. He sounded like he wanted to play everything safe. Too safe. He referred me to a Harvard medical doctor to further treat my neck. He runs on 33% commission (at least for my case), and the guy he referred me to is expensive! I went there and there was some technical problems with paperwork at the medical doctor. Some lean forms had to be signed (you would think as a lawyer who has worked with this doctor before would have this already done with for his client or at least inform the client). I called Minh Dovan right away after going to the doctor and he called me back and said he would clear me. I go back there and tell the receptionist my lawyer said he had cleared me and guess what happens. It turns out he didn't sign the lean papers, so I had to wait for longer to get my treatment started. Dovan called me three days later. A whole three days. He told me to come into office to sign papers. Now I am still a highschool student. This is my final week of school before entering winter break. Dovan throws a fit and sounds irritated and says "that's fine. It doesn't matter to me anyway." Why would you say that to your client? Are you my enemy or my friend? I don't feel safe or trust in our relationship at all. He was going away for about 5 days or so, but he wanted me to come in to sign papers at 9 AM in the morning. Of course I have school then, so I can't really do that. I tell him i need to call him back later after talking to my father about it. I can't just randomly skip out on school. I want to be a responsible student. The simple solution would be to just sign the papers when he gets back from his 5 day vacation (family vacation my dad says). I can't get treated until then regardless anyway. He calls my dad afterwards and tells him he doesn't want my case anymore, turning my case down for the second time now. He didn't even tell me, his client. He told my father. I give him a rating of 1 for trustworthy because there was no trust. I never felt any comfort or trust from for him. He puts his own interest in front of his clients. He is a bit slow on being responsive, maybe due to his busy schedule, so i give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a rating of 2. I do not know if he is knowledgable or not because he didn't really display any of it to me. He didn't tell me specifically what he is going to do or how. He didn't update me with any new information. He left me hanging wondering what is going on for about a month (I was his client for about a month or two at most). Overall I give him a rating of 1. He is awful. Atrocious. Egregious. I am in pain still and don't have treatment because I quit seeing my chiropractor to transition to the medical doctor, but that didn't go through. To those in need of a trustworthy lawyer, look elsewhere.
