Clinton L. Morgan

We paid this law firm to hurt our reputation, we were not professionally represented and we have contacted the Bar Association to file a complaint. We hired this law firm Clint Morgan - Morgan Hill Law in Feb. 2023. On April 25th, 2023 our hearing was again continued by Morgan Hill to 5-24-2023. That... gave Hilda Pietri months to prepare for our hearing. As I heard nothing from Hilda, on 5-4-2023 I emailed their paralegal Tammy Elliott asking if we should provide Declarations. Tammy responded and said Hilda will instruct you, but start doing your own Declarations. I did and on 5-9-2023 I provided Tammy with our own Declarations to file. On 5-18-2023 Hilda, 6 days before the hearing, frantically started working on our case and reached out to me for the Declarations not knowing Tammy had them and Tammy didn’t give them to her per Hilda. Hilda realized she didn’t have the Declarations, she’d never requested them from us, and she asked me to send them to her again in which I did. At the hearing on 5-24-2023 nothing was filed on our behalf by this Law Firm. Hilda was not prepared for the hearing and knew nothing about our case, not even our names. On 5-24-2023 we were advised by Hilda our hearing would be continued again and we were told not to appear. That same day, 10 minutes before the hearing we were called and told to HURRY and login to Zoom and appear, the hearing is going to be held. We rushed to login to Zoom. Hilda was not prepared, she knew nothing about our case, not even our names. As opposing counsel was prepared and had filed all their Declarations, they destroyed us and Hilda “giggled” unprofessionally throughout the entire hearing. It was traumatizing and horrible. The judge chastised Hilda Pietri for not being prepared and told her she’d had time to prepare and the Judge said this was common for this Law Firm and then dismissed the case we had filed after the Judge had nothing to view on our behalf and the other party’s counsel called us “Hypocrites and Stage Actors” while Hilda giggled. Hilda Pietri was dumb founded and began crying and then walked out and quit her job with Morgan Hill Law Firm that day. We came into Clint Morgan’s office and met with him the next day 5-25-2023 and he specifically said, and I quote, “Hilda quit, this is horrible you guys, I apologize, don’t worry I got this, I’ll take care of you, moving forward there won’t be any further costs for this case.” Clint said, “We’ll fix this you guys.” He said moving forward to deal directly with him and they would “Refile”. Due to Hilda Pietri not being prepared, the opposing party turned around and filed a Petition against us being empowered by our attorney’s lack of professional legal representation. After we provided all requested documentation to Clint Morgan and Hilda Pietri, within 2 weeks Clint Morgan went back on his Word and began charging us for this same case. Throughout this entire case, which was just a Protection Order, we were not only stressed about the case, but we were more stressed as we had no professional legal representation. Hilda Pietri struggled to communicate with the Judge, with us, and with their attorney. We were humiliated.
