BEWARE OF THIS LAWYER - AT ALL COSTS /

Took my retainer - Then did nothing else. Have notified him by mail/phone that he's fired, yet he will not return my retainer or my calls. He moved out of his office, and has left no forward. Filing "e-Grievance" w/The Washington State Bar Association, BBB, Attorney Generals office, etc... ... I somehow doubt I will ever see a dime of my money back. Don't give him your trust or your hard earned money.

Untrustworthy

He is probably one of the most unprofessional lawyers I've ever dealt with. He leaves his staff and clients on hold while he has one crisis after another. I've never met anyone with so many excuses. He also like to change your contracts when you demand your money back and/ or an accounting and answer...s of what he has done for you. Like the previous review he likes to blame staff and other people for his lack of due dilligence, follow through and professional integrity. The last I heard he has gone through 4 rounds of staff since October 2012 as he has not paid them and they walked out. Everytime I was present he was exceptionally rude not only to his staff but other clients as well as myself. He gets your money with a fake personality then never treats you properly again. This guy is a smuck all the way around. I cant believe the BAR has not done something about this. Dont give him one penny!

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.

Resignation in lieu of disbarment issued in WA, 2014

updated on 01/17/2014

This means the attorney resigned in order to avoid being disbarred. "Disbarment" is the most serious penalty for a lawyer.
