Very disappointed

My siblings and I hired Eric to represent us in the resolution of my father's estate between his widow and us. Eric did very little to help us. He would contradict himself repeatedly and never once did he suggest what we should do. With constant contradictions and inaction on his part led to lo...ts of billed hours with nothing actually getting done. The reason we attained an attorney is that we did not know what to do. Eric did not give us concrete suggestions about how we could deal with the estate. I expected that he would present us with a few options of how to handle the estate, give us the pros and cons of each and suggest the best course of action this did not happen. My experience with Eric was disappointing. I should have fired him early on and cut my loses. I will not recommend using him if you have a case that needs a lawyer that is willing to fight for you.

Brady, I'm sorry to hear you were so disappointed, and I am rather surprised. If you or any of your siblings want to give me some criticism, please don't hesitate to contact me directly to tell me why you felt this way. At no charge to you, obviously; I simply want you to have a chance to tell me what the problem was. As I'm sure you can understand, I will not respond further in this public forum because I am obliged to protect your and your family's confidences. Regardless of whether or not you contact me again, I wish you and your siblings only the best in future.
