Reviews for Dale
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I didn’t hire him, but I went in for a consultation. He treated me very poorly and seemed to enjoy doing it… I came in looking for help with a lawsuit involving confraud, not personal injury, but he thought I was trying to get help with a personal injury case and The whole consultation felt like an ambush. He wouldn’t let me talk and didn’t look at the paperwork I brought to show him. He asked me about my health problems and then started insulting me. I’m 33 years old and he basically said all of my health problems were because I’m old and fat. He asked me what my triglyceride levels were and more or less called me a liar when I told him I didn’t know. Instead of declining to represent me, he chose to bully me until I finally had to get up and walk out..in tears. I don’t know why he couldn’t be professional and just tell me he wasn’t interested in talking my case. He really hurt my feelings and, it seemed like he did it on purpose.
