The previous reviewer is absolutely correct that this attorney does not warrant the one star allowed !
Mr. Donald Dowling of Ross, Hackett, Dowling, Valencia & Walti in San Bruno spoke with me regarding a serious ongoing dangerous situation I have been experiencing with a business neighbor. On our telephonic conversation Mr. Dowling was amicable and acknowledged the potentially hazardous position I described, expressed concern and advised me he would check on an issue in an effort to advise me and that he would be contacting me within several days.
Two weeks later I had not received any contact from Mr. Dowling. Another week later and sill no word from Mr. Dowling. I therefore called his office upon which I asked the receptionist to speak with Mr. Dowling.
The receptionist asked my name and put me on a extended hold only to return to advise me Mr. Dowling was in a " meeting " and asked if I wished I could leave a voicemail. My voicemail identified myself and reminded Mr. Dowling of our previous conversation and that I had not heard from him.
Yet another week later and silence of the part of Mr. Dowling continued.
Again I call his office and ask to speak with Mr. Dowling and again the receptionist asked my name and yes again put me on hold for two minutes only to return and advise me that yup, Mr Dolwling agilan was in a " meeting" so I request to hold for him. she returned to the line two or three minutes later and advised me that Mr. Dowling would not fee free so again I leave another voicemail informing Mr Dowling that I had not heard from him and that he could at least display common courtesy and just let me know that he would not be available!
As of this this writing Mr. Dowling continues to exhibit lack of professionalism, common courtesy and complete disregard for people prolonging the the bad rap attorneys have.
My advice and opinion is Buyer Beware and stay away from Ross, Hackett, Dowling, Valencia & Walty law firm in general and Donald J. Dowling specifically . read more
