Hmmmm

Something isn't quite right here . Lots of promises made , lots of false expectations raised , lots of talk , but no professional action , big disappointment , i.e., a lot of time wasted with no results . Very quick to ask for a retainer and make more promises .

Do not hire this attorney

This attorney will sell you a dream. He did not open the mail i sent to him for court until the day of court. Showed no interest in my case and he even called one of his other clients an obscene name. Very unprofessional and made me crinch. He is very good at not telling the truth.

I am not sure who this person is but probably a client who was not telling me the truth during intake or had unrealistic expectations.
