Was hired to represent my family in a probate case. He failed to appropriately apply the laws to defend the case. He did not kept track of the events. Information was verbally and in wrting provided to him than then he denied to have. He was not updated about current laws to apply in our family's case. He was providing information only pertaining to my family and the case to the other party's attorney. He pushed our family to make a decision turns later to be adverse against our case. He did not guide our family appropriately and the damage made by his poor representation in court was enourmous. When requested to return the money he charged for his bad legal representation, he tried to overcharged rather than to recognize his huge legal mistakes.

This attorney never kept any accounting records. He told me he can't type. He has no staff to answer messages. He writes up court orders that are almost illegible, and he kept me in limbo on a family matter for a couple of years. He got my confidence by getting a small support order but I ended up paying him way more than the support in an attempt to get a reasonable visitation. After I complained that he owed me money and I wanted to see an accounting he never replied to me directly. We were slated to go to trial and it never happened. When Christmas visitaion was conflicted/fought over for the fourth consecutive year I fired him.
