Avoid this guy

Stay away from Frank Shamy! This guy is a overcharge, does not deliver. He represented me in Jan in New Brunswick for a criminal case. Went to consultation, very nice person. But after I retained him, he never returned my calls again. Yells at you for asking questions, does not tell you what... he is going to do in court. Everything is taken care of by his secretary. First appearance, he always comes in late (his office is across the court). I went inside court, he found me sitting inside court, no prior meeting that morning. He is the worst. I called him the night before second appearance, he forgot my court date!!! He ruined my case, stay away from him.

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
