Jones did me wrong

This attorney actually has a fairly decent reputation. He has a very lucrative practice and is quite knowledgeable about the law. However, my experience with him has left a very sour taste in my mouth. He lacks personal ethics and will sell you up the river to meet his own gains. The man is 100% abou...t the money and the people be damned. His prices are quite high ($375 an hour) and he will spend many hours filing unnecessary motions and paperwork in order to bill you as much as he can. I made the mistake of paying him up front. He made a couple short court appearances, managed to somehow bill me extra, and when I couldn't pay him any more money (he had originally told me he'd do my case free, then at a reduced price, then quoted me a higher price, then wanted more money than he'd asked for originally) he withdrew as my counsel and left me to fend for myself. If you hire Mr. Jones, just keep in mind that he will be serving HIS best interests, not yours.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.

Reprimand issued in OR, 1999

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
