Hes a snake in the grass scammer.

AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. If I could give him less stars I would. He is a scam artist. He never calls me back. His secretary would leave me on hold for so long until I would hang up. Then she would just ignore my calls. I know that because she answer immediately when I called from my another number.... She proceeded to say he answered but my connection was bad. # Bad at calls When he finally did answer my call weeks later he said I was a low priority client. My question is after working with him for little under a year. With all of this. How does he have any clients. # Took 2 grand and did nothing After my loss I was sent an invoice for a grand more. When he has never explained how the original grand was used. # Never showed up to court He would miss court. An claim he was never served with the papers. So he "would file" an appeal. Which never shows up in the case files. *If you go online you can check the progress of your case, just cannot download any files* It's all public information. That is how I know hes a lair. What papers he did "service" the respondent. Were never signed dated or even filed with the court. # Would leave aggressive voicemails I got a call from a very angry ex, whom shared with me the voicemails he would leave them. Hostile, boarderline violent, mean and threatening them. I hired him yes but not to abuse my ex. # He would Submit to the courts unfinished, poorly written and badly spelled documents. Every document he did submit was poorly written and always misspelled. The judge laughed at this. I looked like an idiot. # He never updated me on my case Up until the last court date. I never knew what was happening. Only thing he would tell me is that my pos ex would get what's coming. That I was in complete compliance of the law. When it came down to the last court date I was almost thrown in jail for my negligence. I was listening to my lawyers advice and it nearly wound me up in jail. Not only that I now have to pay 6x more then what I would have been if I never hired him. # Nor told me I needed to file or submit any documents. I was never told I had to submit any kind of documents. Which helped my ex win there case. # I lost my case due to his negligence. Not only did I lose, he was not even sorry and the day before court he charged me another grand which I never got back after the loss. # I never recieved a single email or document from him or his secretary. He never showed me how he spent my retainer. My ex showed me the timesheets they recieved from there lawyer. Down the the minute was charged and labled. # He would claim to have never recieved any sort or document or summons from the respondent. He played dumb saying he never recieved anything even after I saw that he was faxed everything. I dont understand we took an oth and he flat out lies. Over and over. To the point I feel he honestly believes it. There is something seriously wrong with this man. #He will take your money and never see you again. HES CHEAP FOR A REASON! HE WILL DO NOTHING!
