Underskilled, Unprofessional, Unprepared

Casey is not skilled enough to handle complicated cases. And I was overcharged excessively because he was not skilled enough. At one point he needed to consult an additional attorney because he didn’t’ understand what to do. I found myself, many times, repeating to Casey the details of my evidence... presented. Casey still could not understand, or would not properly research, which allowed the opposing party to be dishonest. Even after I would send detailed information, multiple times, having to pay each time I did so, Casey still lacked knowledge that was pertinent to this case. Because Casey was unprepared, and not skilled enough, the opposing counsel was able to get an unjust financial judgment against me. The judgment was because of Casey's underperformance in properly researching what was sent to him as evidence, and being prepared to counter the false attacks by opposing counsel. Casey would not provide paperwork, that needed to be reviewed by me, and submitted, until the last possible date, and usually only two hours until the courts would close. This was not enough time for me to review and correct all the mistakes and missing information. This left me stuck. When I informed Casey of all the information missed, Casey would just remind me that he sent over the documents for me to review and I should have brought up the concern at that time. Casey said he was not concerned for court though and believed he knew the information he needed to know. Opposing counsel saw these weaknesses and was able to exploit them, though I can’t blame them for doing so. Please do not use Casey Sanders if you are needing an attorney that will pay very close attention to details, or if you have a complicated case, or if the opposing counsel is highly skilled in deceit tactics, because Casey Sanders will leave you frustrated, and broke. Casey simply is not skilled enough to handle these types of cases. I will not use Casey Sanders, nor will I use McKinley Irvin firm in the future. I do believe that Casey is skilled enough to handle very simple, cookie cutter, situations.

Review

I came to Casey Sanders completely clueless on how to start the divorce process and how to proceed. To begin with, I paid $200 for an hour with him where he showed me what papers to fill to get him served without letting me know that first of all I would need to file. Then to make it worse, after I t...ook his advice and filled out the specific paperwork and "served" my husband. I came to court and they looked at me like I was an idiot. Anyways, I paid $20 for the court facilitator and got my papers filed the same day. My case was very simple, no kids and no house, but I was shocked on all the fake help he told me I needed to do/not do. Super rude and unfriendly also.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
