Brian Le Bon Calpin

I retained Brian calpin a few years ago for a divorce. After I payed him his retainer fee, he disappeared off the face of the earth. Finally after many,many attempts to contact him he would call back, but was clueless as to what was going on. Which btw from what I understand, that lack of communicat...ion is malpractice. Even the little effort he did make was laughable. Motions, cross motions and basically any and all documents were vague and POORLY written. He left many things hanging in the balance that are still haunting me to this day. In the courtroom he sat slumped in his chair and said not one word on my behalf, which there was definately ample moments that he should have reacted. I could go on and on but, I think you get the idea. I seriously was considering suing and/or taking steps with the NJ BAR ASSOC. concernng this matter. I would NEVER RECOMEND BRIAN CALPIN to anyone. I dont know Brian personally, but as a lawyer, it is my opinion he is INCOMPETENT.

My husband and I hired Mr. Calpin to complete our wills and power of attorney documents. We paid the retainer upfront on our first and only meeting. He has since refused to return calls or emails. We have tried multiple times and have not heard from him for over two months. We have since filed a comp...laint with the NJ Bar Association and have had to hire a new attorney. We have not received any communication nor a refund for the money we paid Mr. Calpin.

I sought out help from Mr. Calpin after getting the runaround and zero communication from my last lawyer. Initially he returned calls and I thought that I was finally making progress in my case. Not so. Cut to six months later, it takes weeks to get a return phone call, I appeared in court on the ...date he informed me to only to find out it had been changed and he never notified me. It has now gotten to the point that I had to file a complaint with the NJ Bar Association, as he is simply nonresponsive and has now wasted another 6 months of my time.

I used Mr. Calpin for a matter. He did not keep me informed of appointments and court dates. He was not knowlegable for the legalities of the case. He read my discovery for the prosecution for the court because the prosecutor was unprepared. This I found to be unexceptable for someone I paid to repre...sent me. He did not even try to prepare a defense. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING HIM.
