Paul A Thompson

On 9/11/13 Mr Thompson represented us in a BBB arbitration involving LeafGuard NW. We knew Mr Thompson was just beginning his legal practice and we thought we'd give him a chance since we were convinced we'd win. (We didn't, but neither did the other side.) Firstly, Mr Thompson did a poor job in hi...s opening statement. He barely spoke above a whisper. I wrote it off to first time jitters. But then the opposing council came after me very harshly. I looked over to my lawyer, Mr. Thompson, and not only was he not defending me but he was enjoying the opposing council's routine. He actually had a smile on his face! I couldn't believe it. Even the arbitrator said he shouldn't have let it go on that long. It was completely irrelevant anyway. But my lawyer seemed to be enjoying the beating I, his client, was receiving at the hands of opposing council. I was willing to let it go but the last straw was when I left the room for a second after it was all over and came back in just in time to see Mr Thompson roll his eyes at the opposing council and say, "I wasn't the first" implying that I was a difficult client and went through numerous lawyers. Untrue. He was the first. We gave him a chance. We took him out to lunch at a nice place. He drank good wine. I handed him the entire case on a platter. And this is the thanks I get? Not only was he completely incompetent, but he flat out fed me to the wolves.
