I hired Attorney Alana S***, a Law Offices in Los Angeles, California and was quoted $20,to handle my son's criminal case and didn't know nor was it expressed that she was affiliated with "The Blanch Law Firm, P.C" in New YorkI call her frequently on my son's case, but would cut me off saying I have another callI began sending her direct deposits to her chase account without a retainerDecember I deposited $5,and February another $6,In March I found out she was on vacation, which I didn't know until I called her she didn't answerI text her and grudgingly answered I am on vacationI apologized and said I didn't knowI explained my son is being mistreated, officers are spraying maze in his eyesShe expressed she would be in the office next weekWhen she returned to the office she called me and said she would call my son and write up an appeal, but it would cost addition $2,My son states Attorney did call him but cut the conversation off and said she had another call, my son never received an appeal from him to signI called her up and said forget the appeal because I don't have $2,
By April **, I received a retainer of $25,and found out the letter head said "The Blanch Law Firm, PC." Three months went by and I had not sent any more money because my job was slowBy end of May accountant Debbie called me to see if I was sending any more money? I explained my job was slow and wanted to know if Attorney Alana was advancing in my son's caseAttorney Alana called me later and said she need $up front, I said I could not provide that my job was slowAlana next week and said " Give me $20,and I will start the case and have installments of $1,a month, I said O.k
Month of June I had $10,and called Attorney Alana and asked her if she was going to appeal my son's case, she got upset and said no! I reminded her of our conversation a month ago, she said " I never said that." What? to my surprise, but you did.She insisted " ...no I didn't." By this time I am losing trust Attorney to Client and wondered how was I going to raise $25,and my son is being mistreated, my job is slow, and losing trust
I decided not to continue with Attorney Alana because I didn't trust her any more and asked her my text if we could talkAttorney Alana keep on brushing me off the accountant Debbie because she was busyWhen I spoke with accountant Debbie I asked of copies of my paymentsShe turned around and called Attorney Alana saying I wanted billed hours statementsAttorney Alana called me practically screaming ( my sister could hear her saying) it will take at least days for billed itemized statementsI expressed I only wanted copies of my payments that's allAlana lowered her tone and said oh...okThis time I sent her an email for her not to continue the case and to bill itemized statementAttorney said it would take at least days for bill hours to be ready
I wanted days later and nothing in the mail, I texted Attorney and she replied call DebbieI said what? No...you misunderstand I want an itemized statement of your work for $11,Attorney replied it was a flat fee and you will get billed hours when ever they are ready
