Eugene Roy Salmonsen Jr

Mr. Salmonsen was employed to handle guardianship for my sister's children after she died. From the start, Mr. Salmonsen was inefficient and non-responsive. It seemed that he was unable or unwilling to execute even the simplest of tasks. He did not keep me informed of what I needed to do to complete ...the guardianship, and filed for continuances without my knowledge. He never returned my calls, so I called frequently to attempt to get information on my case. I even showed up at his office one day and he told security not to let me up. It got so bad that I filed a complaint with the State Bar against him. I had to HIRE ANOTHER ATTORNEY to help me navigate the system and provide proper paperwork. Because he would not keep me apprised of the progress of my case, the court had the impression that I was non-compliant and REVOKED the guardianship. This caused calls from the Public Guardian's office and an order from the court appointing a Guardian Ad Litem for the children (against me). I was forced to go to court to get the guardianship reinstated (and I had to pay for this privilege as well). Thank goodness that after explaining my position, the attorney for the children actively assisted me in reinstating the guardianship. It is now on record that I was cooperative and compliant and that Mr. Salmonsen was quite the opposite. He made this case into an absolutely horrible and damaging experience when it didn't have to be.
