Con(Don’t hire)

Do not, I repeat do not hire this con. I paid this attorney in full almost 13k and a few days later, I never heard from him again. No response to my emails or calls. I hired him based off of his great reviews on this site, but once I didn’t hear from him again i began researching deeper to find out t...hat he was disbarred on August 13, 2024 and also I started to find more reviews about him taking other clients money and not responding back to them.
