This is NOT A CHRISTIAN MAN, I was given false information that he was deacon in his church and if he is, in fact a deacon in a church, he should not be, in fact I believe if he attends church at all, it’s strictly for appearance only. I posted a 5 star review because, HE ASKED US TO DO SO, and after his first appearance in court he said I could get my son back that day, if we passed drug test and I had a place for us stay. My drug test came back positive for thc, and Word tried to convince me I was just not recalling when I used marijuana , or had been with a friend and had forgotten because in his words “ THE TEST LINE WAS DARK, indicating a high content of thc….. I was in tears and said unless you’re asking me to lie I am telling you the test is wrong. So after he tried to convince me I had used drugs, he then says” So you want to pay them 50$ to send it off, I said absolutely, I have never been told that was an option. So my test came back as a false positive. I spoke with his client liaison, Karen, who told me that I should not write the judge a letter, but DHR told me to write the judge a letter. Karen told me they would schedule the isp meeting with DHR and contact me the following week. They did not. I followed up inquiring about the isp meeting Monday Tuesday Wednesday with no response. I inquired if they could get the results of the test. No response. I asked for a contract, dictating the terms of representation, and in tbe contract a card number to keep on file, the day of the month and the amount of the payment to be drafted. No response. Now he’s resigned from my case claiming a breakdown in communication with the mother and to continue would be futile. He refuses to refund any money, because in their words he spent hours on my case. I find that odd since he could not provide a contract in the TWO TOTAL APPEARANCES IN COURT, the last of which he did not even stay to the end of our hearing but assured us , twice, he would be present the following day at the isp meeting…. Needless to say, he did not show and he’s claiming conflict of interest to represent my son’s father, he was on record with DHR as counsel for the parents. However I find it odd he can claim conflict when he never provided a contract stipulating who he was representing and the amount. Plus, my sons father is the one that made the cash and card payments, in his card, not mine, all phone communications went through his father, to me, so if he’s resigning because of breakdown in communication, 1) he had only the incompetence of his office to blame, and if he can’t represent my sons father, and was solely representing me, he violated my attorney client privilege discussing anything with his father. I will report him to the Bar, and they will do nothing but at least I know I have corrected a 5 star review he by no means is worthy of and he also demonstrated the same inadequate counsel to family members and eventually, 2 years later did refund their money. I apologize to anyone who read my first review but I was distraught over my son not getting off the bus and spending 3 hours with his father trying to find my kindergartener, before I finally, under the advice of a different attorney, told me to inform the school that I was told to go to the police and make a missing persons report.
Again to anyone that read my review and took it to heart, I am so very sorry. Please forgive me, I was deceived. If zero stars were an option, tbat is what my review would be, but if you decide to retain him , my advice is, if he doesn’t have the time to meet you in his office or provide a contract when you pay him thousands of dollars, SEEK FAR SUPERIOR COUNSEL, I wish I knew who that would be, but thus far my experience with attorneys is the same as doctors…. They speak to you in a condescending manner which in itself is disrespectful and they WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE, because they spend years cultivating their relationships with DHR, your enemy.
