Hired Attorney

Crook is an apt name. Forget about communication, it’s honestly amazing that he has a running practice. My real estate deal fell through 5 days before closing due to his ineptitude. During this urgent situation, Crook was no where to be found. His paralegal left, likely due to his inability to do his job, and was handling my file from another firm. It’s been a week and I’m still waiting for him to return my call. Mr Crook - don’t dare invoice me for your lack of service. You’re lucky I don’t have the energy to sue you. I hope you have one foot into retirement and no other people have to get screwed by your lazy, inexcusable “work ethic.”

Hired Attorney

Very poor communication.lacking follow up skills and sense of urgency.
Takes forever to get answers.
Almost killed real estate closing deal by failing to provide required documents in given timeframe, despite multiple reminders.
Attorney representing another party had to urgently get his client’s paperwork done in order to make deal happen.
Showed up 3 hours late on closing, without giving any advance notice of delay to other parties involved.
Extremely inconsiderate.
