PLEASE READ this review before meeting with this firm so that what happened to me do not happen to you! They are notorious for charging EXCESSIVE FEES and being dishonest! And boy can they put on a good performance at the INITIAL CONSULTATION! If they think they can make quick money off of you, they will hype you up during the initial consultation but I'm here to tell you that once you pay that retainer fee, their true colors will show!
I paid them a $5k retainer fee on the spot, liked they asked for. They told me that I would most likely get some of it back because my case was pretty "cut & dry". They also said once I pay the fee, they would reach out to the opposing party and send notice to the court as my attorney of record.
I never heard from them after paying the fee and over a month later, I inadvertently discover that they never reached out to my opposing party, neither did they give notice to the court as being my attorney of record like they professed at the initial consult! During this same timeframe, I received an invoice from them with OVER HALF of my trust funds depleted! I expressed my concern to them and reminded them of what they told me at the initial consultation meeting. Not only did they deny ever telling me that my case was "cut & dry", they also denied telling me that $5k would be more than enough for them to represent me and that I would most likely receive some of it back. Once I started to question them, they terminated the agreement and called me a complainer and a crack pot!
The only thing they did not lie about is me receiving SOME of my money back. In less than a 3- month time frame, they invoiced my trust account a total of 33 charges totaling $3883.53. They hardly did any work that served as a benefit to my case!! MOST of the charges were for "office meetings" they had with each other "supposedly" and LONG phone conversations they were having with other parties that served as no benefit to my case! ALL three attorneys invoiced my trust account separately for the SAME line item!
They have refused to correct this! I am leaving this review because I never want to see this happen to anyone else! Should you choose them to represent you, please make sure you ask all the right questions. Please make sure that only 1 attorney can bill you for the same item. I also recommend that you record ALL your communications with them and by all means, please control your trust account! read more
