Posted by Eric | June 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Questionable Ethics

I successfully used Mr Fathy in a minor criminal case for defense and the results were sufficient and the price was good, I got the intended result for m money, this was 16+ years ago. Fast forward 14 years. He takes a client, a family member of mine in a restraining order situation, against me. Know...ing the details of my "misdemeanor" history, (Client Privelege/Privacy?) He knowingly used that information/history against me in court and won the case for his client. I ended up paying his clients fees as part of the deal. It really sucked having to hire an attorney to represent me against my old attorney. I know, I could have gone to the BAR, but I was just done, and in reality, he did me a favor because I have broken ties with that family member, much to my pleasure. The restraining order is long expired, and I life is soooo good. Thank you Richard Fathy, thank you! Also, he will brag about his Harvard Law education, yet he degreed at UC Davis, FYI. He has been fair with me in the past, and would not let me hire him without first sleeping on it for 24+ hours. Would not hire again though after playing my own mother against me. e should have declined the case and recommended someone else. I think his liberally biased ego wont let him turn away money though.

Unethical

This lawyer really messed up on a lawsuit for my husband a few years back, and now we are paying the price. Thanks richard for doing NOTHING. Worst lawyer ever.

The worst

I would have to say that this is the shadiest lawyer I have ever retained. I used him for a divorce, and Richard saw nothing but dollar signs. It breaks my heart that there are people in the world like this. I would highly recommend using different counsel at all costs.
