hard to get a hold of snobby and rude employees

I gave mr silva a number of pictures that should of made the case a shoe in ( as the police report had a major error) he has no email contact, and I only spoke with him once, I had to print all of my documents and pictures and mail them to him (snail mail). Then when my case was over I never got anyt...hing in the mail stating the ruling from the office, instead I got a letter from collections for my court fee. When I called Mr Silvas office the receptionist was really rude to me, and said well our records stated that we mailed it to you so I dont know what to tell you. I called back again a month later as it still wasnt mailed to me and I got the same receptionist, who had the attitude of a teenager, I asked him to mail it to me please, he asked my name, then I asked him what address they had for me on file, he shot back with a sarchastic "well what address do you WANT us to mail it to" I told him then asked a simple question (as I am NOT a lawyer, that is why I shelled out all that money) he then asked me to spell my last name, How was he going to mail me the letter or look up my file without the correct spelling of my last name? then he came back on the phone with the same immature attitude and tone basically calling me stupid for not knowing.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2001

updated on 01/13/2010

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.
