REVIEW

He was hired for a bail reduction. He kept inquiring for my family to obtain additional records that would help the defendant have their bail reduced. WE kept obtaining the different documents he was requiring, WE did the leg work. WE would call him to get a status update, he never called us. FInally..., he said the bail reduction request did not yield any bail reduction. We demanded documentation stating this, he said he had no such document. Went to his office to get the original documents we provided and his secretary said he was not there and she would meet us in the hallway to give us the papers. How outrageous!! We didn't pay for his services in the hallway! Another patron was buzzed in and we were able to gain entry and Attorney Lisa was inthe office! Not only this but when dealing with a bailsbond agency they called to inquire about the case and the records show that there was no bail reduction hearing!! We demanded our money back to no avail.
