No follow through

I was very disappointed by our experience with this attorney. We had a good initial consultation and decided to retain him .I emailed him / his assistant repeatedly asking why he was not listed as the attorney of record. I was told that they would file a document to fix this. The day before the hea...ring they emailed and said to be at the court at 9:30 am . We waited over an hour and he never showed or called our name at the court house as all the other attorneys were doing. He was still not listed as the attorney of record. I feel that we paid for services not rendered. his assistant billed me every month though! we tried to fire him and his assistant was rude and unhelpful. They still have $1250.00 of my money for doing absolutely nothing- I have asked for a refund and they have refused. My next step is the Texas bar association and the better business bureau. Stay away- very disappointing.
