Would not return phone calls promptly and billed me to correct mistakes he made.
Watching him seek after a person to be executor of her mother's estate. He has done nothing for her. Then he represents her great uncle for the investment broker bryan thomas.then pucks Bryan's now wife Megan mcay to be the trustee if the trust and after they have him sign his will and paperwork. They deem him incompetent. So now they have all been paid except the family. As he still represents the great niece mothers estate they are trying to take the great uncle home away from her and have it sold to pay this fake trust they forged up to collect money from the family. This is suppose to be a super attorney? He's nothing more than a thief hiding behind a name tag to steal from the elderly and the family. I hope ya'll have real checks and balances and can yield punishment for your own. This man should have his license taken away for the horrible acts he's doing to this family. Ya'll should have your attorneys and peers look into the practices of this despicable man and 2 others
