Syed Mansoor Khan

I hired Mansoor in Oct 2014 and paid a retainer of $2500. After numerous attempts to contact him to inquire about progress on the case ( Nov, Dec, January), I terminated our relationship and had to hire another law firm to help facilitate the release of my file. Mansoor charged me for services he did... not perform and although I received a refund for a portion of the retainer, he kept $975 allegedly for drafting a petition but to this date, 9 months later, I am still to receive any proof of any work he's done. I requested a copy of my file be mailed to me but after numerous requests even sent by my lawyer, Mansoor refuses to release the file under pretext that I should call his office and arrange to pick up the file in person. However, any phone calls made end up in voicemail and no one calls me back. I truly believe that if Mansoor did the work he charged me for and has such records, he would've sent me a copy when I first asked for it, 6 mo ago. The reason he refuses to give me a copy is that he did not do any work and has no records to release. My next step is to sue him for the $975 he kept from the retainer and for the trouble, misrepresentation and delays he has caused me with my case as well as to report him to the attorney disciplinary review
