Jeremy Bryan Fancher

I found him through a site that matched me with him , only later did i test the site only to find he pops up as the match for anyone/ anything so long as youre in the bay area. At the time I saw that his name came up for areas of law unrelated to custody court/guardianship case...i guess if the money...'s right, he'll play the part ..the problem I have is that he lacks the experience and/or wont do the work. Both IMO. I apologize for the length in advance. Not only is he unprofessional (he messaged me on facebook messenger (which I never gave him the info for) telling me i looked like a "young angelina jolie" which obviously isn't bad in and of itself, but what attorney says that to a client!?? way to make a woman feel uncomfortable.) He also said things like "I'll never waste your time by filing papers that you are capable of filling out..I'll only charge you for the work i do and i have an online system where you can log in & see all the work that I've done." He also said he has handled a case like mine, but I should've pressed him for more info. I just didnt because he seemed like a trustworthy person. Obviously I have paid the price for that mistake. Needless to say I never saw that online system & he later (after asking him what work he did) complained about me filing papers. Unless you want to have to hire a lawyer for a lawyer, steer clear of this snake. 1.False Promises- After personally contacting a private investigator to potentially help me , the PI told me that i must not have an attorney with any experience because if he knew anything, he'd know that no one would give me what I was asking for due to the way the laws are set up. I got worried & called him- he reassured me the info i was given was wrong. Turns out (after i asked a judge for more info) the PI was right. 2. Poor or No Records -Will provide you with a bill but zero explanation for what he did. I have asked numerous times & to this day have not seen his explanation of what he did. Other than him texting me back with the demeanor of a supportive friend....& hopefully reading the case files I had already filed when I hired him (we never discussed them so maybe he didnt), the only other time I can think of that involved his time was a 5-10min time frame where I asked him to be available in case theyd let him appear in court for me by phone. Within a couple minutes i communicated to him it was a no go. 3. I never met him - He was in SF I was in Santa Cruz. Only once (& after the weird fb msg) did he say he was in my area due to a case & texted me asking if i wanted to do lunch. It was not planned , also his text was super casual & a little off putting, so i chose not to go. meeting was not incredibly important to me, but be aware if u are out of county 4. He never appeared for me, & never filed anything on my behalf. He would answer my questions via text, but one question I asked was if what the PI said was true, & he gave me the wrong answer. I am pretty sure he just didnt know the answer, because the way the law is written makes you think its a possibility.Two judges have since told me that its not- and that no judge in CA would allow it. 5. His rate is 250-300 hourly, my detainer was 2500 and I believe i got 1000 back. Given that our interactions were comprised of only texts and a couple 5 min calls (not including the hour long consult, which was free) wheres the $1500 of work?I asked him, & to this day hes never told me or bothered to send any explanation. All I have is the receipt, which basically states 2500 - 1500 = 1000. After asking several times to explain what he did, he told me if I continued to bother him he would take legal action. If its not obvious already, we never made it to the courtroom for the hearing he was hired for. Thats why I asked him for the partial refund and when i saw the situation for what it was. Suffice to say that was pretty disheartening,i cried my eyes out.... please dont let that be you.
