- Status:
- Unanswered
In 2019, I secured the services of ********************** ********** as representation in a divorce proceeding. Over the next two years, I gave Wail ********************** $42K+. During this time, Mr. ********************** and his staff demonstrated gross negligence in handling simple tasks that were presented to the court. Most notably, after receiving notification for the last day of trial, I came to Mr. **********************'s office in ************, and he nor his staff had the trial on their calendar. This was Mr. **********************'s day to cross-exam with questions. Needless to say, he was not prepared. He even used the questions that I sent to him to use during that same trial and charged me his hourly fee as if he came up with the questions. His staff also recorded the date of separation incorrectly. I later had to amend the date of separation with the court to reflect the accurate date of separation that was provided to Mr. **********************'s office. This damaged credibility of the case which was evidenced in the Judge's ruling that referenced the amended date. This amendment was perceived by the court to prolong the case and the opposing party was granted sanctions for Mr. **********************'s error. In addition, I disclosed all accounts to Mr. ********************** at the start of trial. He was negligent in accurately accounting for this information and did not provide a complete file to the opposing counsel. This incompetence resulted in the Judge's ruling to award the value of the missing account to the opposing counsel due to not disclosing these funds. Mr. ********************** not thorough when provided information for preparation for trial. Pertinent information that was provided to Mr. ********************** that was substantial in the case proceedings were often ignored or dismissed due to his lack of preparation. This negligent conduct is very concerning when going through litigation in a matter that is invasive as a divorce that involves the custody of three minor children.
