Worst Attorney!

I hired Brian A. Noble back into 2015, I did not know he wasn’t a man of his word. After he took on my case I thought I was in good hands. I come to find out he was lying to me constantly. He told me he was going to take the plaintiffs deposition but never did nor did he do any kind of discovery. ... I had my evidence which I shared with him and access to all my files. In which I found out later he never reviewed. He filed my lawsuit 18 days late the statue limitations on a Oral Verbal Agreement is two years. Dropped my case less than five months before my trial. Brian said, he was getting a divorce and that his wife hired the same law firm of the plaintiff I was suing. Said it would be a conflict of interest, I found out he was never getting a divorce another lie. I couldn’t hire another attorneys because no deposition nor discovery was taken and because he filed my lawsuit late, this is what each attorneys conveyed to me when I tried to hire them. I had no choice but to represent myself in court on July 10, 2018 and lost my case. I lost a $2 million case.

Disappointing

I hired Brian Noble because I needed to transfer my business from a sole proprietorship to an S-corp. He assured me this was a simple process and he would handle all the paperwork so everything would go smoothly. He also required $800 up front for his service. It’s almost a year later and to da...te he has presented me with nothing but a boilerplate CD which was only partially complete and those parts contained errors. He failed to follow up on getting the State and Federal paperwork in a timely fashion which looks like it is going to cost me around $5,000 in additional taxes, misinformed me re tax requirements and deadlines, charged me for sending in paperwork that he admitted he forgot to send, and when I asked him what he was planning to do to follow up on getting the paperwork he told me that he was busy with more important cases and quote “You have to understand, in my practice you are not exactly the squeaky wheel.” I have no problem with a lawyer being too busy to help me, but I have a BIG problem with him taking my money and then doing nothing for it. Since I had to pay my two bookkeepers to do the work he was paid to do as well as paying thousands in unnecessary taxes, I think he should give me my $800 back.
