Prepared Disability QDRO incorrectly---document missing Disability content and dismissed pre-disclosed wishes and desires

Mr. Wayne E. Harris prepared and delivered a QDRO document incorrectly, dismissing pre-disclosed wishes and desires repeatedly, nor were they delivered in a reasonable timely manner. He made rude and disrespectful statements, utilized unprofessional language and comments to me via email, when I would... ask for detailed answers to specific questions regarding my case....communication from him was sparse over the 22 months I worked with him (he took as long as 6 months to return a call/email/letter). I disclosed my goals and wishes verbally, in emails, and in writing, to Mr. Harris regarding QDRO Benefits/Survivorship decisions, and they were consistently dismissed and miswritten in drafts. He, in writing, would argue with my Pension decisions, which have relevance to my future finances, yet, he was concerned with my X-wife's Survivorship opportunities. I hired him to represent me. I hired Mr. Harris and paid him a total of $1,800 ($1,300 initial +$500), starting in 12/2016, to prepare 2 QDRO forms for me, and he initially stated it would take about 3 months to complete. Yet, the first QDRO took approximately 1.5 years to complete. The second QDRO, was prepared incorrectly twice, and with all the time used, making mistakes, he asked me for an additional $500 on 10/2017 stating the flat fee hours had been used up. After I paid the $500 I didn't hear from him for 6 months regardless of my repeated communication via phone, email, and letters. The second QDRO was rejected by the Masonry Trust Administration, because Mr. Harris delivered the paperwork missing critical "Disability" content required by the Masonry Trust Administration...the document was supposed to be a Disability QDRO.

What is his problem?

Wayne Harris provided a QDRO service for me back in 2012. He is incredibly abrupt, vague, and likes to run a treadmill business. Don't ask any questions, don't expect any answers, don't expect anything other than the bare minimum of service. That said, he did the job and succeeded, but I will neve...r work with him again.
