Won't do his job

I was a client for over six months. During that time peter perkins would NOT return phone calls or emails. I work closely with other attorneys day in day out. Peter was court appointed from family court. He prefers his statements to me to mean and nasty to his clients because we are all alcoholics or... drug addicts and don't deserve children. I am sorry my ex was that's why I left. I was not. To judge and yell degrading remarks to me because I want to ask questions and state how long you have been an attorney doesn't answer my questions. Refusing to do the job you can do for me because of personal problems is not faif to me or your other client's. Do the job you can. Thank God one of the attorneys I do work for stepped up. He was not even a family attorney and got everything straightened out right away and my kids are back with me. Peter is a very bad attorney that refuses to do his job for me. I would tell anyone represented by him pray for a different attorney quickly

It is difficult to address the comments by this reviewer as there is not sufficient information contained in it to even tell if "James" was an actual client. As a court appointed attorney, I expected the majority of my clients to have little or no money and they were often times homeless and addicted to drugs. Over the years I have represented thousands of clients achieving positive results in hundreds of cases. As a court appointed counsel, there is a process whereby clients may petition the court for different counsel. During my nine years as court appointed counsel, I was never replaced by the court because of any misconduct on my part, nor have I been disciplined by the State Bar of California. If "James" had a legitimate issue with me, he could have addressed it through a number of channels; however, he chose to write a negative review on an anonymous web site. One that does not allow a person to identify the rater even enough to determine if the person is or was an actual client.
