    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I had Attorney S***** ***** do a case for me in 1998 pertaining to OPM. In 2023 the issue came up again. I gave a retainer fee of $3000.00 and paid another $1800.00. Never did hear a denial from merit protection board. Then I received a letter from OPM again demanding money. D**** ********** called me 5 times in one day demanding funds., then I guess he cried on K**** ********** shoulder and she called and e-mail me demanding funds. I have never had any dealings with these people. Yajaira Alvarado and Attorney S***** ***** has always been professional and showed respect to this 74 year old disabled veteran who served 30 years for the government. I has requested all files be sent to me. I have asked Attorney S***** ***** to call me. I also requested Yajaira Alvarado to call me. Just Sad that people are under so much pressure they talked down to me., very rude. Cancel my case without why no denial letter from merit protection board . Price is very high and charges I asked to show all billing documents which D**** and K**** were so rude., making statements I did not say.. S***** ***** did a good job in 1998., but charged me $6800.00 for a case that has no denial or any win. Now I have to pay $61780.00 and $6800.00 to them. Why do veterans ask for help., if we get chewed out from employees of the firm. Just sad.. please sent me a statement where $6800.00 went., and all files pertaining to case. Thank you.
