Lisa D Wright

Lisa Wright was recommended to me by one of my clients, and she sounded like a great fit for me. I reached out via email. Didn't hear back for some time (weeks). When she finally did email me back, she said that my email had gotten sent to her junk folder. OK happens all of us, no big deal. Communic...ation continued to be an issue. I had to pursue her. I continually reached out. At some point I finally even left a voicemail just saying that if I don't hear from the office in the next day or so, that I would assume that she did not wish to, or could not take my case at this time. They finally got back to me and I went in for a meeting. I gave her a retainer of $3k. I signed the documents that she prepared during our meeting, she said she would file them in the next 7-10 days. There was some time sensitivity but 7-10 was acceptable to me. I left feeling pretty good, like she understood my case, and that the course of action we had chosen was good. Week after week, I heard nothing, even after asking for updates. During the months of correspondence from me reaching out to conclusion, I literally got every excuse in the book for the terrible communication, the spam folder, severe illness, and death in the family. Finally, 25 days later, I told the office to wait on filing. I was having second thoughts about going forward with my case. Then all of a sudden, Lisa claims she had just driven up to Clackamas county just that day to file, but only stopped the filing process when she received my email saying I was having second thoughts. How convenient that she could bill for the $800 of time to drive to Clackamas once I said to wait. After 25 days of ignoring my requests for updates. It's almost comical. I let the office know that I was not going to proceed with my case. When I asked for the remainder of my retainer back, first Lisa said that she had sent it back in December and she would have to put a stop payment on that check before issuing another. Then she said she was waiting on checks for her new account, the next week it was the same excuse, and then in the end she told me that she had actually "goofed" and that not only was none of my retainer left, but that I owed them money. To recap: I had ONE 90 minute meeting with Lisa, and no paperwork was ever filed. For $3k?!?!?! In what universe. I went back-and-forth with her to try to come to a logical conclusion to this conflict, and she just acted as though she was flabbergasted that I would be upset and think that I did not get my moneys worth.
