Complaint: ***
As of today, I did not get resolution of my problem with this business to my satisfactionI filed complaint with Texas Bar, but Mr*** provides nothing but stake of lies to them in the same way he was trying to justify his deceptive actions to Revdex.com in my case presented around one year agoHe claims that he did "work' for meI never saw a draft, I never gave him my spouse's tax refunds or any other papers, because I agreed with my ex on a fixed amount of child support and that amount was already stated in my divorce papersAs always, Mr*** provides bunch of lies, while I can prove otherwiseHe is trying to convince Revdex.com that the money he received from me (350) was a retainer, while in his first email to me he explained that he charges flat fee for all the work done, and the first consultation is freeI had two witnesses with me when he was saying all this, and when I was giving him the moneyIf it was a retainer, he would have to write a contract with me, and he never didI still have a piece of paper from his yellow pad confirming that I gave him 350, with his signature on itI am now changing nature of my complaint to bait and switch, since I was service that was done for me is providing me with lie after lie after lieHe does exactly the same to Revdex.com and other agencies that I have complained to, just to escape responsibilityPlease be honest and take responsibility for your unprofessional service to duped customers

I keep having problems with this attorney who keeps lying to Texas Bar and to Revdex.com about what has really happened so he can keep the money he did not do a thing for. He did completely nothing. I have text messages he kept sending me to excuse himself when I was asking for the job done week after week, month after month. I don't care how much he says in his response he charges- HE TOLD ME that EVERYTHING WILL COST 350, I came to his office with two witnesses on the day he made that agreement with me. That means that he lied in the first place- bite and deceive tactic. Judge [redacted] approved prepared by me draft of my final divorce, I just needed to make a couple changes because he did not agree with my overseas travel arrangements with the kids. I hired Mr. [redacted]l because I was working two jobs at that time and did not have time to finalize my divorce myself since I was working during regular court hours. Another attorney, who completed my divorce over a year ago for a VERY reasonable charge told me that she never saw anybody who by herself came this close to completing pro-se divorce. According to her I had more than 90% of the job done myself. Mr. [redacted], who owns me the money for doing nothing, is trying to explain his action by finding things in my decree to justify the theft. I had in my decree that the father of my kids will pay me fixed amount of dollars and nothing about the insurance. This was none of Mr. [redacted] business how much I WANTED from my kids' father. If this is what I wanted, he had no business in asking me for tax returns. It looks like Mr. [redacted] started looking into my papers after I filed complaints with Revdex.com and Texas Bar. He owes me 250 and if not resolved through Revdex.com, I will take my matter somewhere else. I am not used to be paying for nothing. There are similar complaints on this attorney's record, not only on Revdex.com. Refund

I have been in contact with [redacted] as recently as today, July 9th  .... this case was filed originally on Jan 31, 2012 ... we did a lot of work on the case, we had a hearing on temporary orders, worked out agreed temporary orders, then we began negotiating the final decree .. we submitted the...

final decree to [redacted]'s wife's lawyer.  Thought we were going to enter into agreed final order however they never signed off (suspect that [redacted]'s wife- [redacted] never fully paid her lawyer and that was why things did not get completed.)  The case,  because it sat dormant was on the dismissal docket, I got the case reinstated one time, and counsel was to send me the agreed final order.  Case ultimately got dismissed and recently we refiled the matter as a new case.  I have worked out an agreement with [redacted] whereby we will handle the new matter at no charge to [redacted].  We are hoping that [redacted] will not retain new counsel and we can get her to simply agree to the final order that was previously negotiated.  In short, I believe my client is now satisfied.

Date Sent: 5/1/2015 11:12:29 AMAttached is the response I sent to the Texas State Bar regarding this complaint.  I have never had s client who paid me so little, cause so much problems.  I take great issue with her personal attack on my truthfulness. The client proved to be unworkable. I was employed to draft a final decree based upon the mediationagreement signed by the parties. The parties represented themselves atmediation. Subsequently, the client, still representing herself, took themediated settlement agreement and a final decree (that she prepared herself) to Judge [redacted] on June 3, 2013 and proved up the divorce. Judge [redacted]instructed client to prepare a final decree of divorce. The Judge did notapprove her draft of the final decree. I therefore had the client’s draft ofthe final decree, the mediated settlement agreement and the judge’s notes toreview. I agreed to draft the decree and estimated that it would take 2 hoursof my time, at $150.00/ hour. To prepare the decree and I collected $350 fromthe client. When I got into the matter, I noted that the mediation agreement contained “deal points” and thatto prepare a proper decree, particularly as to the child support issue, wherethe mediation agreement simply stated that husband was to pay guide linesupport. I told the client that I needed to examine the husband’s tax returnand pay stubs to make the calculation as to the amount of child supportpursuant to the guidelines.  There wassimilar issues in clarifying the deal points regards health insurance costs. Ineeded to know the client’s cost of insurance on the children because in theJudge’s notes he wrote that husband would reimburse for the cost. I also neededto how the standard possession was to be extended. The deal points just said standardpossession extended. I needed to know what clients understanding of theagreement on extending possession was.  Itold the client that I needed this information, before I could complete thedecree and I advised her that it was likely going to take more of my time thanI originally estimated. I also told the client, that when we got the decreeprepared and both parties signed on it, I could file a Notice of Appearance ofCounsel and take the decree to get it signed by the Court.  Further I told her that a withholding orderon the child support should be prepared and that also needed to be signed bythe judge and filed with the court.  To do these things in addition to just drafting the decree, I told her I wouldhave to charge more than the $300.   As a comment, I note that the client was very cost conscious and she had done much on her own,obviously preparing the petition for divorce, getting the matter mediated atthe BCDRC, taking the mediated settlement agreement to the court and proving upthe decree, and finally drafting on her own a final decree.  When I brought up the issue of  this matter taking more than 2 hours of mytime and costing her more, than I originally estimated, she became irate. Sheproved very hard to communicate with always yelling on the phone. In hindsight,I should have just returned her file and her money and been done with it.  When I called her on the phone or spoke toher on the phone I would rehash the need for the information, in order tocomplete the decree, but client, was suspicious of me, thinking the only reasonI wanted the information was to charge her more money.  At some point I stopped working on the case, wewere at a stalemate, she wanted a refund of all her money and I told her that Ihad expended more than 2 hours on the matter and would not give her the refund.Client also told me that her husband was leaving the country and would not signthe decree. I recall later telling her that I would complete the final decreeif she would provide the information, and I said I would not charge heranything more, but she never sent or provided me the information.   When this matter was in the investigative stage with the Grievance section and no Petition had been filed I provided theinvestigator with my response and copies of pertinent documentation.  I note that I also received a complaint filedby this client with the Revdex.com. On May 12, 2013 I sent theclient by certified mail a partial refund of $100.00 and returned her file toher. I responded to BB complaint on May 13, 2014.   Finally, I want to apologize to the Grievance Committee, I did not timely file my Answer or this Rule 194 Response.  For a while, whenever I would look at thisgrievance, I would get so angry just thinking about the matter.  Foolishly, I guess I just wanted to forgetand hope it went away. I have since realized that the only one I should be angry with is myself.  I should havesimply refunded the client’s money and returned the file at the first sign of trouble knowing that client would be so difficult to work with. When I got into the matter, I noted that the mediation agreement contained “deal points” and thatto prepare a proper decree, particularly as to the child support issue, wherethe mediation agreement simply stated that husband was to pay guide linesupport.
