I saw this Lady for a case. She booked 2 people same day and same time . We both walked in same time. She hurried me through, then told me she will charge 10k but will collect 4k as down-payment. I gave her my credit card, she charged 5k instead and did not give me a receipt. I immediately check...ed my card at home and discovered she took 5k. This makes me think twice and partly culminated in my telling her I do not want to proceed and wants my money back 3 days later. I opted to have her withdraw the case as part of the 2 options she gave. She did not mentioned anything about my refund. I contacted her again, and then again. She then told me my down-payment is nonrefundable. I asked for at least given me the extra 1k she took from my card, she said I don't remember saying 4k,...let me check...but did not get back to me. I contacted her again but she always try to divert conversation. She said I can only use the down-payment towards the case if I decide to proceed in the future. I asked for any signed document confirming such agreement since she never told me that payment is non -refundable. She is not sending me any document and our online conversation had miraculously disappeared. I can not even retrieve initial fillings and communications. I have contacted other attorneys and have been advised this is utterly wrong and unethical and I need to file complaint against her with the State. My 5k had gone after spending less than 30min with her. She has deep eye for your money .. be aware, you are warned.
