Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | Divorce & Separation

Posted by Matthew | March 25, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Absent during all elements of a divorce trial.

I hired Mr. Misner to handle my divorce. While he was knowledgable, once the fee was paid I did not hear from him regarding the status of my case. After numerous calls to his secretary that went unanswered, I reported Mr. Misner to the Washington State bar association. Only then, did he return the ca...ll and informed me that he had missed the court date for my trial, therefore negating any representation I had regarding property and financial claim. He refunded the retainer and offered to file a motion to stay the judgement, and I never heard back from him. He is a good salesman but he does not possess good follow through, trustworthy work ethic and certainly is not reliable when it comes to handling life altering decisions. I would not recommend retaining Mr. Misner. If you do, you will at your own risk.

"Mr. Misner brings decades of experience to every case. His understanding of the law is truly remarkable. He is more than happy to share his knowledge with other attorneys and consults willingly when asked. I am confident in his skills and ability to be professional."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. He had an outstanding result in a case I referred to him. His reprimand was due to a situtation where he was overzealous in representing his client on an insurance claim. "

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Resignation in Lieu of Discipline issued in WA, 2021

updated on 02/18/2021

Ineligible to practice law in Washington. No longer a member of the WSBA due to resignation while disciplinary proceedings were pending. Not eligible to re-apply for admission.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2005

updated on 01/12/2010

This means the attorney 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.
