Made appointment a week prior, drove 7 hours to meet and they cancelled the day before!!

I have a serious legal matter concerning a large amount of money with a General Contractor in the area who misappropriated my funds and stalled my job due to nonpayment to the subcontractors and suppliers. I live out of the area but thought it best to hire an attorney in the area where my building p...roject is so I made an appointment with Chris Hearn via Dawn a receptionist at Chris’s office to meet with Chris a week later. About 6 days later I drove 7 hours to meet with Chris the next day. I was looking forward to receiving some professional help as almost 150K of my funds are at stake! I had written Chris 6 days earlier and also cc’d him on important communication with my contractor but with no response from Chris. A day before I was due to travel I called Dawn and mentioned Chris had not responded to my email days before and she asked me to send her the correspondence email so she could look it over and discuss it with him as he was extremely busy and he did not want to be disturbed. She mentioned he was so busy he probably had not read his emails. What kind of attorney does not read his emails concerning important legal matters I thought? So I sent her the email and she said she would call me back that afternoon and let me know if Chris had gotten my initial email and subsequent cc’d emails that were important to my case. Why she needed to discuss my legal matter with him instead of just asking if he was getting my emails was a little strange I thought. She never called me back. Oh well I thought, maybe she is just a little clueless but Chris is the professional lawyer and he his the one the matters here. Well the day before I was to meet I drove 7 hours in preparation to meet Chris in Ashland the following day. In the afternoon that day I get a text from Dawn asking if I had received Chris’s email. I had not. She mentioned in the text Chris was too busy to see me and he had to cancel our appointment. WTF!! I had spent days searching for an attorney, found one, drove down on a 7 hour journey 6 days later to meet the next day and they flippantly without so much as a sincere apology dismiss me as if I don't matter. How unprofessional!!! It is not easy finding a competent attorney in a smaller area that I was not “too busy” and seemed qualified and I was feeling desperate to get some help as my retirement was at stake here. They treated me like I was a third class citizen and flippantly dismissed me at a great inconvenience at a time when I really needed some help. Compassionless boobs in my opinion! How unprofessional!!!!! Avoid and find someone who gives a sh**!
