Hired Attorney

This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I had reservations when his office was assigned as administrator to the estate of my father. He promised he would communicate and honor the wishes of all of us when my attorney agreed on my behalf. Only wishes of 1 of the 4 beneficiaries were honored. It was supposed to be an equal distribution, but he favored 1 of the beneficiaries who was represented by one of his friends. The other 3 of us were shorted by thousands and were not consulted when a property that had been in our family since childhood was able to be leased by one of the beneficiaries without our consent. Furthermore, he paid one of the other beneficiaries thousands more than the other 3 of us and left keys to another property without consent. This is the epitome of incompetence.
