Brian Lamar Ponder

DO NOT CONSULT WITH THIS GUY. HE IS A CON ARTIST! HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DISAPPEAR. IDK HOW HE IS STILL IN LAW! I arranged to have a consultation with him he ended up being late, didn't give a courtesy call or notice that he would be showing up late. MIND YOU, I prepaid for the consultation serv...ice, just to not have a consultation. Tells me he was traffic never calls me back, until an hour and 30 minutes later i called him and attempts to do the consultation, but i have to reschedule due to work because this was now about 8pm at night. Told him i wanted my refund then tells me that he already did a bulls*** report. He is an incompotent, arrogant, scamming lawyer because we NEVER HAD THE CONSULTATION, but as soon as i said i wanted a refund he all of a sudden had work that was done for me. I NEVER RETAINED HIM.. NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING AGREEING FOR HIM TO DO ANY WORK FOR ME. ANYONE SEEING THIS REPORT HIM TO THE BAR, BETTER BUISNESS BUREU, AND DOI. HE DOES NOT DESERVE HIS LICENSE!

Brian Ponder was hired by me to represent my clients in 16 cases. Brian requested $500 per case per client. $7500 was paid to Brian to represent 15 clients in 16 cases. 5 months go by and nothing was never filed. Brian refused to answer my questions about cases but insisted I have my clients contact ...him directly. He would respond to some of the messages but not all of them. 12 of the 15 clients never even got their contracts to sign. I text Brian one day and was complaining cause its been a month and nobody has gotten their contracts. Brian then emailed all the clients that he would be representing them and he'd send over a contract in the coming days. 2 months late and nothing. Ive had my clients email Brian to begin a paper trail of his misconduct. I have 100's of emails and text on Brian. I asked Brian for my money back and he's blocked me from all social media and removed me from all his credit groups. I am now forced to file chargebacks on Brian and leave these types of reviews on Brian. I shouldve read the reviews before hiring Brian cause this is obviously a trend with Brian taking clients money and doing no work. DO NOT HIRE BRIAN PONDER! Look up his cases in the state of New York. He hardly does any work.

Based on an industry referral, I contacted Brian to file suit against finance company and a student loan processor During consultation Brian agreed to represent me. He stated that he needed 1500 retainer fee for each suit filed. He stated those funds would cover out court filing fees and out of pocke...t fees related to filing. He stated that he would be compensated by including attorneys fee as damages and would be paid by lender. Once retainer was paid, my phone calls, text and emails went unanswered. Voice mail was not activated to receive messages. I reached out to the person who referred him, shortly after Brian emailed me and said he would be available following day. It was another 2 days before he called. He requested documents, I said I would call after sending. Very difficult to contact. Last conversation Brian, after months. Nothing done. Brian stated that he was not going to spend years working my case and he did I wouldn receive much because his fees would absorb any financial gain, leaving nothing for me. He instead offered to work on deleting items from my credit report instead. He accused of looking for a windfall. I asked for a refund to which he stated he would calculate his fees and return any amount left over. I told him that he had no right to keep it because the service he was ordering was not what I contracted or paid for and he hadn't done anything related. His response was to send me an invoice charging me for sending an receiving emails. Even the emails asking for updates and to contact me. Over 2500 .

I hired Brian to help with my credit profile for purchase. I paid him $3k and he did nothing. He just took my money and kept promising he was working on it. He never did. He stopped returning calls and emails. This was 2021. Now the housing market is through the roof and interest rates have gone fro...m 3% to 7% while waiting on him to do his job. So Brian had caused me a financial loss if we still can afford a home.

Do not hire this attorney I hired him to address accounts for myself and husband in December 2018. This gentleman enrolled me into his program, collected payment every month and never work on either of our credit files. I attempted to reach him several times for a status update to which he never r...esponded. He never responded to any of my emails or calls. I reached out to him on 2/22/19, 4/3/19, 5/20/19 and eventually requested for full cancellation on 8/11/19. He finally admitted after speaking with him that he indeed did not do any of the work that was agreed upon. I requested for immediate cancellation and am going to be pursuing legal action to recover a refund for services not rendered. As he isn’t willing to refund me for services not rendered.
