Hired Attorney

i have used john a few times his response any time i have contacted him he has not responded i have had to text multiple times. this last case i paid him $2500 and he was suppose to file a motion for custody but never did. after months of asking what was going on he continued to lie to me about my ex getting served and having to call the courts. then told me we had a court date but when i called the courts they told me there was nothing filed.

Hired Attorney

This is the kind of lawyer that gives attorneys a bad reputation. Took $20,000 and provided zero services, no bill, no statement outlining his services, his fees, etc after dozens of requests throughout a 2 year period. I actually suffered more damages after having Salem represent me and unknowingly and without authority, signing documents on my behalf which I never would have agreed to.
