Mr. Ignore me......
Be careful with this one he likes you one day and then will not return calls or even provide some kind of excuse. Went to the dark-side beware.
Two points of clarification: First, this individual did not hire or retain me. I was appointed by the court to represent him as a public defender in a non-felony criminal case. I had previously been appointed by the same court to represent him in another subsequently resolved case. This individual had previously expressed an interest in civilly suing individuals and a government agency with which he reported having issues. I opted not to offer to represent him in his lawsuits. Months later he left me a voicemail again stating his desire to civilly sue various individuals and entities. Because his message was neither time sensitive nor about his criminal case but merely a reiteration of what we had previously discussed, I felt we could better discuss it in person a short while later at his next court appearance. I’m happy to learn that he found an attorney who will help him with whatever litigation he wishes to pursue and wish him success. We're sorry he had a bad experience as we strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case.
"I have worked alongside Matt for about ten years. He is an aggressive and zealous advocate for his clients. Matt's work in civil and appellate law gives him a wider perspective with which to serve his clients. I endorse Matt Rusnak."
