- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Answered
In Sept of 2021 my mother passed away. To settle her estate, we employed the Law Office of Grady **********************. By May 31st 2021, we sold my mom's house, and disbursement checks were available for myself and my 2 brothers. I tried to open a bank accnt, and deposit/cash the check several times, but my ** drivers license was lost, so I couldn't cash the check. I informed **********************'s office, and they asked me to bring the check back, and Mr. ********************** would get cash for me. After delays and cancellations, on their part, I finally got to their office, to collect my inheritance. Once I was there, he said he could only get $20,000 of the @$88,000 I was owed. The bank was informed weeks ahead, so they should have had the cash ready... But ********************** didn't have the money, nor an explanation of why this happened. He promised to get me the rest, in a few weeks. more missed appts and delays. It's very costly, to make trips to ********, because I live in Arlington and my car isn't running. It's between $100- $300 for each trip I make. On my last visit, on Sept 1, 2022, ********************** used very inappropriate language, and physical behavior with me. I was shocked and upset, but I have NO INTEREST in filing charges of any sort. I emailed them to tell them what happened, because I was humiliated and uncomfortable around Mr. *********************** and preferred to not deal with him if possible. I JUST want to get my money. NO charges, and be done. Since then, they stopped answering my emails, stopped answering my calls... No calls back. Nothing. **********************'s wife, eventually called to say, she's been avoiding me for 2 weeks because she was so upset about what I said, about her husband. She insisted that I come down to the office, with her and Mr *********************** (office workers would be sent home) to tell the whole story of what he did. I asked if I could get my check, but I got no answer. They have stopped all contact now. I just want my money OR a check. Please.Business response

Please find attached the response as well as the email correspondence between our office and ***************** You will note that we tried in every way to get the money from the sale of this house to her. Thank you for your time and attention.
