  More info

  In early July 2022 someone filed a bogus restraining order against me in Maryland. Someone referred me to Mr. ********* L. **** ( a partner in the above law firm). Mr **** asked me to pay $3500. He said if the case gets resolved as a restraining order, he would give me refund. I asked him to put a motion to throw out the case on the issue of JURISDICTION since I don't live or have business in Maryland and has never visited Maryland. He told me that the motion was denied. I later found out that he did a verbal motion. For the amount of money Mr. **** took from me on a Restraining order case, it was very unprofessional of him not to atleast file a written JURISDICTION motion. After this verbal motion was denied, the case was supposed to go to trial. Before this trial, I requested a meeting with Mr. **** yo discuss his strategy for the trial. Mr. **** got very upset about this meeting. He told me that if the meeting was to hold, I had to pay him extra $2000. I was surprised. I asked about the retainer again but he kept talking about my not trusting him. I felt caged, so I paid the extra $2000. At the meeting 1. I realized that Mr. **** did not read a word of all the paperwork I sent him about the case. 2. He was asking me to plead guilty for something I didn't do. I told him I will not please guilty to lies and that he should bring ***** who seems to know about tbe case to help him. He said he will charge me extra $400 an hour without cap to bring who is a member of his team. I told him I was out of money. He chose to resign from the case. After his resignation. I got another attorney who studied the case, went to trial and won the case on my behalf. The lies of the plaintiff wS exposed and the judge ruled in my favor. I am requesting a full refund from this most unprofessional lawyer. He never really did anything about the case. His bill was bogus. All made up and false. He couldn't even file a written motion instead he spoiled my case by filing a verbal

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/10/25) */ We're sorry you were not satisfied with our services. We worked ******* your case, which presented many unique challenges. While we disagree with the concerns you raised with us, when it became clear that you had lost confidence in our work, we encouraged you to engage new counsel. Once you did that, we refunded part of your retainer. I have come to learn that you were ultimately successful when your case went to court and am glad that things worked out for you. Best Regards **** ****, Partner with ******, ********* & *****, LLP Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/10/27) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Mr. **** is lying when he said he worked ******* my case. He never put any effort in my case. He just wanted to collect my money and ask me to plead guilty. Infact I read a review one of his past clients wrote on him where this client called him a BLOOD SUCKING DEMON. He took this client's money and gave him over to the other party. Mr. **** never put time in KY case because when I asked him to discuss his strategy with me, he had nothing to say. I had to inform him on a case he had paperwork on. Also he claimed to send me a $2000 check. I am requesting that BBB ask Mr. **** to produce tbe cashed or cancelled check. I am seeking ARBETERATION in this case or my full refund. Mr. **** is not a prudent lawyer. His attempt to make me plead guilty to a crime I didn't commit tells volumes about him. I need my full refund.
