DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!
Cannot stress enough how unethical and unprofessional this so-called attorney is. Those 1 stars are the truth.
We are filing a formal complaint to the Bar and asking for an investigation. He needs to be disbarred. He is not a lawyer he is a salesman looking to take your money and do the least amount of work possible and then blame YOU, his client, for his mistakes. You are better off doing it yourself than to hire this man.
Basically, we had to hire a new lawyer to clean up the numerous and very serious mistakes he made that could cost us to lose our petition.
You WANT to read this, seriously save your money for a real attorney.
He was hired in April 14, 2019, for a custody modification case, he is provided all the details and information to put together the Petition and submit to the court.
April 17th 1st version, names of the respondent, the kids, are spelled wrong. He puts in the wrong parenting schedule request. Ok, I ask him to make some changes... and some more changes, to the point I said I'll write the damn thing myself. So I downloaded the legal form and put the entire document together, for him.
Oh I should mention he doesn't have an assistant or anyone to help him. So plan to do all the work you are paying him to do, yourself.
So May 2nd comes around: did you get the signed document, not yet, I'll call you tomorrow. May 8th no response,
May 9th YAY we got a court date.
Here's the actual text:
Eddie Lawyer
"Guys
I have Aug 5 as the new court date and you and ***have ordered to attend mediation."
Fantastic
2 months go by, it's July 26. Eddie texts us: how was your mediation on July 24th ? WHAT MEDITATION!!
You didn't give us a mediation date (see text above, no date).
This is where it just gets unreal. He calls me up and tells me that he told me over the phone that our mediation date was July 24th. Uhm, No I'm
sorry you didn't, and we do not have any documents, texts or email saying we did. I told him it was his responsibility to contact prior to the mediation date and prepare us at least send some kind of document. This is what he tells us about providing us with the LEGALLY REQUIRED documentation he didn't provide... "I am not Mr *** personal assistant - I had given you and *** notice over the telephone as to when the parties
were ordered to go to mediation. Additionally, as the court docket shows, the court had set a new date and an order to attend mediation. So the burden had fallen squarely on the shoulders of Mr *** to attend".
WTF!!! Exactly what is the point of paying for a lawyer if you are the one required to file the paperwork and follow up with the court to get the court/mediation dates as well as all the documentation pertaining to your case??
The Bar Association of California Rule 1.4 : A Lawyer Shall: Keep the client reasonably informed about significant developments relating to the representation, including promptly complying with reasonable requests for information and copies of significant documents when necessary to keep the client so informed.
Do your homework, this is not someone you want to trust with your legal matters. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN HE IS A FRAUD! read more
