Michael D.J. Eisenberg, Attorney and Counselor at Law, is professional, highly skilled and realistic. At the onset of this case, his firm, without hesitation, put me at ease and, as promised, kept me informed as the case progressed. Even though, I reside in LaJolla and his firm is in Washington, D.C., he sustained prompt, concise communication with me, and the Agency, using modern technology (i.e. computer, telephone, etc.). The deposition setting was nothing less than first-rate; he sourced out a stellar court-reporter with "real-time" court-reporting devices. Upon arrival in the City, he was extremely prepared to represent my case. Bottom-line, he is brilliant and trustworthy.
I’ve never talked to someone who displayed so much incompetence in such a short amount of time in their professional field as this lawyer.
What I encountered was somebody who not only had no time to actually work my case, but began to gaslight me despite me having a very compelling and empirical case. I felt as if I was dealing directly with the VA bureaucracy, and began to feel as if he was functioning some kind of surrogate for the VA itself - there to help derail your case. In fact, I think the VA claims office treated me better than did he.
I fired him for good cause, chiefly due to an outrageous lack of effort on my case. He obviously has Severe Adult ADD. He is not a veteran, so he has no respect or empathy for those who are. He even sent me confidential information meant for another client. In court, he seemed to have no idea why we were there, and I had to correct several of his statements to the judge. He racks as many VA disability cases as he can, and then does nothing to further the case, and the longer the veteran waits, the more money he makes. I cannot believe he passed a bar exam. He doesn't listen to you, and has an extremely annoying habit of tuning you out while he tries to figure out how to use his computer. Then when he comes back to the conversation, he says, "Now, I'm not trying to argue with you." All I wanted was for him to focus on what I was telling him about the case. What a disaster.
I hired Mr. Eisenberg to get my Veterans Case resolved biggest mistake I ever made , I never knew his true identity until much later unfortunately .I hired Eisenberg pro bonor Anyway as time went on, the more I asked what was happening with my case, the more distant he became. I asked several times about updates on my case as I was receiving letters from the Veterans appeal board and ask him for advice he very agitated even rude but what was troubling was his demeanor he became very unprofessional almost like a different person I asked several times if he could help me and I was always referred to phoney staff members after a few hours I would receive strange unprofessional emails from eisenberg .After about 10 months of voidence on his end, I asked again, and he said "I am worried about my attitude". I asked one more time for an explanation, and he said I was harassing him, and I have "selective hearing".call 911 if it urgent I wanted to terminated him, but unfortunately I was able to go through with that idea because of how far into the case I had gotten he new this because of he had been through this many times before unbeknownst to me
I hired Mr. Eisenberg to get my Military records corrected, as I have all the Government paperwork for Medals, but they never made it in to my official personal file. I paid me Eisenberg $4000,00 for his fee, but as time went on, the more I asked what was happening with my case, the more distant he became. I asked several times for his accounting work sheet of how much was being spent, but he never sent one. I asked several times if he could send me what he has so far, and his staff said they were ready to send the paperwork to me for review.. but never did. After about 10 months of void on his end, I asked again, and he said "they were worried about my attitude". I asked one more time, and he said I was harassing him, and I have "selective hearing". I terminated him, and asked for a full accounting of money spent, plus my file as I paid for it. He only sent me a format for standard billings but still no actual accounting. When I said I was going to take him to Arbitration Board, he said not only was the money spent, but If I file, he wants an additional $953.40 for additional work, would sue, me and call the authorities. I finally got a tally of his expenditures, and all that money was spent on telephone calls and emails. Plus when I got his accounting statement, hes fee went up an additional $200/hr from the original contract fee, and his staff fee, and his staff fee went up additional $100/hr. I have still not received any of the work he did, if he did any.
Mr. Eisenberg contacted me telling me he could win my case. I did not call him and have found that this is his MO. I hired him on a true retainer of $4,000. He missed critical deadlines and meetings, misrepresented and lost my case and was overall a very poor lawyer. He wants the money but does not want to do the work. He sued me for and unpaid balance iand instead of the $4800 he said I owed he was asking for the amount of money he would have been paid had he WON my case instead of lost it. I won the case against me based on his engaging in legal malpractice and his failure to fulfill his fiduciary duties.
He would tell me one thing... And do another! He stopped returning my calls(unless he was walking his dogs)! He missed numerous time frames set forth by the judge! He was not family-friendly, seems my children had no worth! He continuously lied to avoid meeting with me in person! He avoided me @ the court house and made myself and witnesses unaware of what was going on in the courtroom!!!!
